CatharineFleury

Catharine lives in Larchmont with her husband Joe, their two kids (Alida, born in 2014, and Joseph, born in 2016), and their dog, Rosie. She has an M.F.A. in Creative Writing and spent the first ten years of her adult life working for print magazines—some you may know (Men’s Journal, National Geographic Adventure) and others you probably don’t (Endless Vacation, RCI Ventures). After a decade-long career pause to raise her family, Catharine is finding new ways to apply her editorial background to causes she cares about. She edits communications for the Larchmont-Mamaroneck chapter of IRLNY, a parent-led nonprofit dedicated to helping families take childhood offline and into real life; more recently, she has started advocating for intentional EdTech in public schools. A typical day in Catharine’s life entails walking Rosie, eavesdropping on her daughter’s carpool chatter, lacing her son’s hockey skates, and helping with her husband’s business, Koala Insulation of the Sound Shore. She grew up in New Canaan, CT, with a dream to live out West. She never thought she’d end up in Westchester, and she has never been happier to call a place home.
