Cathy Sorbara is a neuroscientist and passionate about raising the voices of women! For 10 years she worked as a researcher in academia, studying neurodegenerative diseases. But when she moved to England, Cathy decided to explore a different path. She ran a start-up company called Cheeky Scientist, a global professional network that helps PhDs see their value and find meaningful work outside of academia. She was also Co-Chair of CamAWiSE from 2017-2019.
In 2018 she set sail for Antarctica with 80 other women scientists, as part of Homeward Bound projects, a leadership initiative that aims to heighten the influence and impact of women making decisions that shape our planet. From that point forward, Cathy has dedicated her time towards creating a healthier planet and sustainable future. She currently works at Greenpeace International in the Netherlands as a Project Manager. She is also involved in several volunteer initiatives.
