Her work has been favorably reviewed by Luca Turin, and she has been a panelist on American Perfumery at Esxence in Milan, Italy.  Catherine published the book Nose Dive in 2017 as an invitation to use scent in creative practices. She founded the Odorbet in 2020 and continues to collaborate on interdisciplinary projects involving scent through Mindmarrow®.  She founded Carnet® in 2020 to house her candles, perfumes and apothecary for purchase to the general public.
