Catherine, a minister in the Evangelical Covenant Church, mostly finds herself in urban settings which she loves. She has worked in diverse ministry contexts within Anglo and Latino communities. Catherine has also taught in various settings: since 1993 at Centro Hispano de Estudios Teológicos (CHET)–teaching in the areas of theology, ethics, and spirituality (in Spanish); from 2000-2016 in practical theology for Young Life; and since 2005 for Fuller Theological Seminary in spirituality, missiology, and theology and film (in Spanish and English). She wrote movie reviews for “The Covenant Companion” and “Faith@Work” for eighteen years.

Being the child of immigrants she loves all people, things and experiences found in that liminal space between cultures. When not working, she enjoys the gym, good books, cooking, the beach and traveling with her husband. And she thanks God for the blessing of being the “abuelita” of 5 grandchildren.
