CAROL CATACUTAN: SHINING LIGHT IN A WORLD OF DARKNESS

Being a single mother is Carol’s life goal and priority. Acting as the organization’s Chief of Operations, Carol’s shoulders carry the day-to-day operations of the organization from fund sourcing to budget scrutiny to overall supervision of all aspects of the organizational operations. She dedicates majority of her waking hours to ATRIEV in an effort to run the operations smoothly despite meager funds and limited personnel. It’s only dedication and passion that keeps Carol in her present job. Despite the heartaches and heartbreaks, she continues to strive harder for the organization because she knows that ATRIEV has a purpose and a mission to fulfill.
