Catherine’s entertainment career spans 16 years across film, television, concerts, live broadcasts and animation.

She began as a Loader with Lock and Load, one of the few women working in a male‑dominated touring industry, supporting acts including Slayer, The Beastie Boys, the Bee Gees and Neil Diamond. This led her into rigging, joining Panavision Lighting as a Lighting Rigger on major Hollywood productions, with The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions among her first credits. Catherine later moved into management roles with Panavision, working on The Great Raid, Ghost Rider, King Kong and The Chronicles of Narnia across multiple international units.

Relocating to Europe, Catherine shifted into broadcast, coordinating large‑scale multi‑camera productions in reality TV and live events. Highlights include working with Done and Dusted on Rammstein’s 2005 Nîmes concert and Live 8 for Peter Gabriel in Cornwall. Multi‑camera broadcast quickly became her passion, combining technical precision with major‑event logistics.

After returning to Australia, Catherine continued in broadcast on programs including the early seasons of MasterChef. She broadened her skillset at Oscar‑winning animation studio Animal Logic on Sucker Punch, before moving into operational management at Technical Direction Company. At TDC she managed crews for some of Australia’s biggest multi‑camera productions — The Voice, Australia’s Got Talent, Vivid Festival, Kings of Leon, Leonard Cohen and more — cementing her love for filming live performance.
