 Cathy is a native Oregonian and graduated from Portland State University in 1988 with a BS in Business Administration-Accounting. She worked for Price Waterhouse (before the "Coopers" was added) and became a licensed CPA. She has been a Corporate Controller and a consultant for several companies in both Portland and Seattle over the past 12 years.
As Pearl Painters grew she decided it was time to leave corporate America and help Brian bring a refreshing level of professionalism and client service to the painting industry in Portland. Cathy has been elected to the Board of Directors for Northwest Society of Interior Designers (NWSID - www.NWSID.org) as their Professional Resource Affiliate Representative for the board year 2007-2008. She was also elected to the Board for American Society of Interior Designers (ASID - www.asidoregon.org) to serve as their Finance Director for the 2007-2009 board years. Additionally, Cathy is active in the Painting and Decorating Contractors of America (PDCA) organization, as well as the Oregon Remodelers Association (ORA).
This year, Cathy coordinated the first annual Pearl Painters Dress for Success clothing drive, held on April 18, 2007 in the design showroom. The drive was such a success that she is making this an annual event.
When she is not working or networking, Cathy enjoys traveling, hiking, biking and spending time with her husband, her 5 year old son and her friends.
"We truly enjoy changing people's lives by bringing them new surroundings. There is no better feeling than walking into your home after work and having it be your oasis...a place that is warm, calm and relaxing. It is totally gratifying to know that we help our clients create that sensation for their family and friends."
