- One of Catherine's favorite pastimes is geeking out on food ads and brainstorming how to make them better.
- A foodie, while also a scientist at heart and a medical doctor by training, she can never resist the urge to analyze the nutritional benefits of every ingredient on her plate and loves encouraging others to do the same.
- Catherine's love for food has been greatly inspired by her mother, an F&B service teacher. During her childhood days, they would use their home kitchen as a testing ground for new recipes.
