Catherine L. Parrish was born in 1970 and raised
in the suburbs around Los Angeles until 1979, when her family
moved to rural Arkansas. While in Arkansas, Catherine became
involved in student government and participated in political
education projects for high school students, such as the Hugh
O'Brian Youth Leadership initiative in Little Rock, and the
Presidential Classroom for Young Americans in Washington, DC.
After graduating valedictorian, Catherine attended Lyon College
and continued activities in student government, traveling to New
York for the National Model United Nations for several years. |
Catherine obtained her B.A. in Philosophy & Religion at Lyon in
1992; followed by an M.A. in Philosophy at the University of Mississippi
in 1994, the same year that she married and moved to Camden County, NJ.
Since then, Catherine has completed an M.S. in Experimental Psychology
at Villanova University, and she now works as a Psychological Associate.
Catherine has a passionate concern for fighting injustice and
oppression, environmental, animal, and social. Nationally,
Catherine supports reinvigoration of citizen activism and democratic
political
participation, as well as the inclusion of all Americans in the benefits
of national prosperity, and the defense of a damaged and polluted
environment.
