After moving to Squamish 4 years ago with her husband, Cathy has had to balance many demands - part time work for UBC, consulting work, tending to family duties, and of course a life full of activity in Squamish. Cathy loves to tutor Chemistry, but also excels in her work with students in Math 10 and 11.
