The “unofficial” bio: Kathy Catton
I love the flexibility and freedom of living in New Zealand. I’m currently developing the next generation of leaders – being a Mum! I also love to keep fit – with running and walking my main sports. Eating healthily is important to me as it ensures that I can live my life to the full so I am teaching myself to grow vegetables, which is giving me great pleasure and is a great stress-buster! My husband Mike is equally outdoorsy and we are loving exploring NZ together. We are privileged to have some great friends around us who share in our adventures.
