The most fulfilling part of Catherine's career has without a doubt been the people she's gotten to meet and report on over the years. Her first assignment as a reporter at KPLC-TV in Lake Charles was an in-depth piece on then Presidential candidate Pat Buchanan, and since then it's been an interesting journey! Some of her notable assignments include covering several Presidential visits and campaigns, reporting on the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and the ongoing recovery efforts, witnessing and reporting on one of the last executions from Alabama's electric chair, and delivering live reports from the Kobe Bryant trial. Catherine can also be seen playing role of the reporter on the big screen in the movie Pride, starring Terrance Howard and the late Bernie Mac.
