Catherine Stromberg performs many jobs for Sparc – shredding, copying, filing and working the front desk at the administration building. She also drives daily between each Sparc building distributing interoffice mail and dropping the U.S. mail off at the post office.
Before working at Sparc, Catherine was participating in Sparc’s Supported Employment program where she was taught job skills, all the while trying to find employment. She had a brief stint working at the Willard Ice Building before Sparc found her a position at its administration building.
“I’ve been here three years now,” Catherine says.
Spending just a little bit of time with Catherine you quickly learn a few things about her: she loves movies (Twilight to be specific), she loves cats and she loves putting puzzles together.
Cathrine enjoys watching movies so much that she could easily roll off her top 5, which are:
- Jaws
- Star Wars (all of them)
- Twilight
- Godzilla (1998)
- Transformers
I had to stop her after those five movies; she could have easily kept going. She has over 200 movies on DVD at her home.
If she is not talking about movies, she is talking about her cat, Spike. And if you dig a little deeper you find out she has been putting puzzles together since she was 5 years old.
Catherine has found a home at Sparc, not as an individual they support but as an employee.
