Catherine May Burke

Tell us a little bit about yourself?

I am a recently qualified computing teacher, teaching away during the academic year! And in the summer months, I jet away to South Dakota to be a camp director!

I have an undergraduate degree in Computing & IT which I achieved at Queen’s University. – I enjoy tech type things!

I love working in FME making resources – especially if it involved creative tasks.

What is your Motivation for this work?

I feel like working with many different young people I have been able to identify those who may need an extra hand with things to help them out. I want to be able to do that beyond the classroom – and FME lets me do just that.

I want to help create amazing campaigns and projects alongside the amazing team to be able to help young people within their lives.

What is your motivation for being an associate of Fresh Minds Education?

I believe that young people need to have a beacon of hope within their lives, and for some people the only light they can see is FME.

I want to help them where I can, especially for those who need it most.

What do you do for self-care?

I like to go for walks – especially along the beach! And also, really enjoy being creative – Painting, video editing, crocheting… you name it!

What are you hopeful for?

I am hopeful for the future of young people – as I feel their voices are starting to be heard within our society.

What are you most grateful for?

I am grateful for the opportunities I have had within my life – I have been able to do some amazing things and I believe they have shaped me as who I am today.
