Her 10 years at WLS-TV (ABC 7) saw her produce, write and edit '190 North', the longest-running weekly entertainment/lifestyle show in Chicago broadcast history. She developed, produced and edited two programs for ABC's national Live Well Network, 'Let's Dish' (a cooking show) and 'Here's How Right Now' (a home improvement series). And, she produced various travel, public affairs and live specials, including ABC 7's highest-rated annual live broadcast, 'Countdown Chicago'.
Cathy began her broadcasting career in radio marketing and promotions in 1999, first at WKIE-FM (92KissFM), then at WKQX-FM (Q101).

Cathy joined Mancow once again on WLUP-FM (97.9 The Loop) from 2015-2018 as his co-host, producer and traffic reporter. It was during her time at 97.9 The Loop that Cathy had the opportunity to be seen on screen, most notably in Director Eli Roth's modern-day reimagining of the 1974 classic film, 'Death Wish'.
In 2018, Cathy made the transition into film/television production. She assisted the Creator/Showrunner and Executive Producers/Writers of NBC's 'Chicago Fire'. She also worked as a Production Assistant on all of the Chicago-based Dick Wolf produced shows ('Chicago Fire', 'Chicago P.D.' and 'Chicago Med').
