Catherine Stroh, Associate Publisher
Catherine has always enjoyed being creative; even as a little kid, she would write short stories and make little photo essays. She graduated from Northern Lehigh High School and received an Associate’s Degree in Communications from LCCC. Not only does she love to write, but she loves reading and photography as well. In her free time, she can be found outdoors bike riding and spending time with her cocker spaniel, Daisy, who takes up the majority of her photo gallery. If she can entertain or inform someone through words or photographs, then she feels as though she has served her purpose.
