​Cathy comes to us with 10 years of experience as a Regional Manager for the West and Northwest with AYUSA. She and her team placed and supervised hundreds of students and families over the years. With each student she placed, the world became a smaller place. Cathy first became interested in other cultures when meeting her husband’s Dutch family in the Netherlands. Learning about the Dutch culture inspired her to learn more about the world. Cathy and her husband have hosted 7 Academic year students.  They continue to be in touch with all of them and consider them her international family. They have traveled to Italy, Germany, Thailand, Holland, Spain and Brazil. Cathy and her husband live in the Sierra Foothills of California with their 2 rescue dogs. She lives by the motto “ Be the change you want to see in the world”
