She later trained as a Librarian and worked as the School Librarian and Head Counsellor at an Harare girls senior school. Catherine was the Estate Manager of a small conservation education game park - the Mukuvis Woodlands - just outside Harare for 9 years, where she was involved in raising baby elephants, crocodiles and general game and conservation management.
