The eldest of eight siblings, Catherine was born and raised in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. At 18 years old she moved to Toronto to attend Seneca College. After graduating with honors, she became a certified esthetician. Two years later, bored with doing facials and waxing women’s body parts she went back to college to study Sales and Marketing. For sixteen years Catherine enjoyed a successful career as an independent sales agent.
In 1992, she finally followed her dream of working in the film and television industry, initially working in front of the camera as a background extra, actress and stand- in. Within eighteen months she found out her strength (and regular income!) would be in the detail-oriented job of the Second Assistant Director.
Her two favorite gigs were as the Rehearsal Manager/A.D. for the musical Chicago and producing and writing the screenplay for a low budget film entitled, Some Things That Stay, based on the book by Sarah Willis.
Catherine met prolific producer Don Carmody on a film set in 1996, and married him three years later. They divide their time between Toronto, North Kawartha and California, with visits to Kingston at least once a year.
The loss of the biggest loves of her life, her parents and youngest sister, Julie, compelled her to write her first book, Breathe Cry Breathe.
