Catherine Willoughby ’12 graduated from the University of Charleston, South Carolina with a Master’s Degree in Public Administration and a Graduate Certificate in Arts Management.

Shortly after graduation, Catherine received an opportunity to serve as a civilian federal employee for the navy within their human resources department.

During her spare time, Catherine enjoys exploring museum and studio exhibits, theatre, live music of virtually kind, and trying out new restaurants in Charleston’s ever-evolving culinary industry.
