Description

Catherine is our guest this episode and she is a Clinical Project Manager for a clinical research and regulatory solutions provider. She and her husband live in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina on the US Marine Corps base. As a military spouse, Catherine provided valuable insights as to how remote work has been valuable to her and her family in providing stability with respect to income, career growth and the relationships and projects her company provides.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Catherine's perspectives as a military spouse and how remote work gives her flexibility to manage domestic and possible global moves with the military.


• She talks about adhering to a macro diet which recommends smaller, more frequent meals and how working from home is more suitable to that eating plan.


• Catherine talks about her passion for her job and how she does not need a clear separation from her home office and her home. She values the flexibility she has and likes the ability to start her day early or do a little more work after traditional office hours if she has a burst of creativity.


• We talk about how she explains to her dad the concept of remote work and the generational gaps between working a traditional 8-hour day, 40-hour week and the asynchronous and flexibility with remote work.


• Catherine highlights the positive impacts work from home roles offers the associates and the organization with regards to diversity and the varying cultures and backgrounds others can bring.


• Also, we talk about Catherine's connection with our previous guest, Erin, from episode 1.4!
