She is the author of 𝙰 𝙿𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚕 𝚒𝚗 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙽𝚒𝚐𝚑𝚝, 𝚃𝚎𝚗 𝙻𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚕𝚎 𝚂𝚞𝚛𝚏𝚎𝚛𝚜 𝚒𝚗 𝙷𝚊𝚠𝚊𝚒’𝚒, 𝙲𝚑𝚎𝚙𝚌𝚑𝚘𝚙 𝚄𝚗𝚊𝚒, 𝚃𝚑𝚎𝚜𝚎 𝙻𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚕𝚎 𝙺𝚒𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚗𝚜 𝚒𝚗 𝙷𝚊𝚠𝚊𝚒’𝚒, and 𝙸 𝙻𝚊𝚕𝚊𝚒 𝚒 𝙱𝚒𝚕𝚎𝚖𝚋𝚊𝚘𝚝𝚞𝚢𝚊𝚗. Her latest picture book 𝙼𝚘𝚕𝚎 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚎𝚕𝚕, is the first installment in a science series.  Cathy's mother is Chinese and Native Hawaiian from Hawai’i, and her father is CHamoru/Chamorro and English from Guam.  She spent several years working as a journalist, before returning to Guam for a career and lifestyle change. She currently works as an English instructor / tutor, and continues to pursue her dream of writing more books.
