For more than 25 years, Catherine (she, her) has advised the veterinary profession in new product launches, strategic partnerships, acquisitions, issues management and more. Today, she channels the industry insights she has gained and combined it with her infectious energy to create The Bridge Club and TBC Pets, video-based communities committed to elevating veterinary medicine and empowering pet owners. She also leads Haskins Consulting, a strategic communications company dedicated to assisting organizations navigate internal and external communications challenges and opportunities. Throughout her career, she has been honored with multiple awards, but being able to call herself an author, by publishing her first children’s book, Nicknames, is one of her greatest achievements. Catherine and her family's lives are ruled by Lily, their 11 year-old dog in Palatine, IL.
