During her undergraduate, Catrin gained a position with Camp America to work at Camp Wawbeek in Wisconsin, USA, where she supported children and adults with disabilities. This sparked her interest in advocacy and social justice leading her to undertaking an internship with the United Nations, supporting policy and communications at the Habitat III United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development in Quito, Ecuador. Prior to embarking on her barristerial career, Catrin worked for various public sector organisations and was a researcher at the Children’s Social Care Research and Development Centre (CASCADE) at Cardiff University, focusing on social policy and practice.
As a result of her experiences, Catrin has a keen interest in administrative and public law, employment, education, housing, environmental and land disputes. As a fluent Welsh speaker, Catrin is happy to take instructions in Welsh.
