Catherine Avery St. Jean grew up on the Mississippi River in Dubuque, Iowa. She is the oldest of eight kids, six brothers. She most recently graduated from CUNY with a Masters Degree in Elementary Educations and is licensed by the State of New York to teach. She graduated with a BA in Communication Arts from Loyola University in Chicago before starting a career in advertising. She worked at some of the top agencies in the world, working in Chicago and New York, rising to senior vice president. After a career in advertising, Catherine bought a long established creative advertising recruitment firm with a partner. The firm has been revitalized and recruits for the worldwide top agencies and holding companies. Ms. St. Jean sold her shares of the company to her partner so she could go back to school and pursue her Masters Degree in Education. Ms. St. Jean was also very active in Advertising Women of New York serving on its board of director for 13 years and 5 years on the Foundation Board. During her reign, she raised over a million dollars for the AWNY foundation charities, including scholarships for students in communications throughout the country. "Caleb Takes a Ride on the Staten Island Ferry" is a rewrite of "A Staten Island Ferry Tale" which was published in 2003. She is currently working on children's biographies of George Washington, Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. Many days you can find Ms. St. Jean biking Manhattan or kayaking New York Harbor.
