Things then really launched for me in the art world when I was invited to exhibit my paintings in NYC in Agora Gallery:

Now, I have not only been invited to exhibit my paintings in a place called Art Fusion Gallery, located in Miami FL.

Aside from that, I have also been offered the chance to show case and sell my art work in a more local place called Mimi's Antiques, in Cottonwood, Arizona.

In the midst of these accomplishments, I have also started my own Enterprise LLC, and trademark - in order to brand the jewelry that I donate to various women's groups, throughout various parts of Arizona.”

She is Vice President of the Student Alumni Association, a Campus Tour Guide, Orientation Leader for Transfer students, and VP of Operations for the Dance marathon for the Children's Miracle Network, Engagement Manager for the University Development Coalition, and is a member of Gamma Phi Beta sorority.  Cate spent last summer in Spain on a language immersion program in Sevilla and Salamanca--all covered as part of her Goizuetta Scholarship. Olivia Napier ’10 and I are actually roommates and things are going great. It is so nice to have a friend from Woodlands at Marquette with me. Other than my studies, I have been actively involved in an organization at Marquette that works to raise awareness on the situation in post-Katrina New Orleans while also going down to New Orleans to be a part of the rebuilding process. I loved the trip to New Orleans that I went on in high school, and since coming to Marquette I have been back 3 more times. I also volunteer at a meal program center once week as a part of the Service Learning program which correlates course work with a service activity in the Milwaukee community. With school, work and everything else I am pretty busy but really loving life. Even though my family has moved to Washington I still plan on visiting Woodlands in the near future, and I am very excited. Hope all is well! Send my love to all of the Faculty and Staff!”
