Board Secretary

Catherine is a 27-year-old student, tennis player, and qualified coach, with a lifelong passion for exploring cultures, people, and music. She has travelled to more than 21 countries, immersing herself in local cultures, meeting people, tasting local food, and discovering diverse musical traditions. Growing up in a multilingual household and speaking fluent German has given her a deep appreciation for cultural diversity.

From a young age, her parents shared their love of music at home, exposing her to a wide variety of traditions. She developed a particular fondness for traditional Greek and Indian songs, Balinese gamelan, and other global musical forms, which shaped her lifelong appreciation for diverse music. Although not a musician herself, Catherine now experiences music in new ways through her fiancée, a classical pianist, making it an even more meaningful part of her life. She sees a strong connection between tennis and music, where discipline, practice, and improvisation when embraced, create rewarding and meaningful experiences.

Catherine hopes to bring the same approach she takes as a coach (combining focus, creativity and fun) to the Lutruwita Art Orchestra community. Catherine is completing her Arts/Law degree at UTAS, on track to graduate with First Class Honours. Her studies in philosophy have shaped her open-minded, critical, and curious approach to challenges. She brings organisation, communication, and a willingness to learn to everything she does and is excited to contribute to the Lutruwita Art Orchestra’s mission of celebrating diversity, creativity, and collaboration through music.
