Catherine Retica was born and raised in Minnetonka, Minnesota. As a child she aspired to become the first woman in the MLB.
Under the tutelage of University of Minnesota professor Mark Jenson, Catherine discovered the copywriting persuasion and began her advertising career during the onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic.
Critics take issue with her offbeat and tongue-in-cheek style, as one parent put it: “Advertising? Really? But you’re giving up your dream!”¶“No, Dad,” she replied, “I’m giving up your dream.”
Catherine presently resides in Portland, Oregon with her girlfriend and cat. She spends her free time playing basketball, performing improv comedy, and attending church (the movie theater).
