Catherine PoagCurrently in her third year of a four-year undergrad degree at Saint Francis Xavier University, Catherine is pursuing her literary passions through editing the school newspaper and writing stories about local legends near her hometown of Smiths Falls Ontario.

Catherine's love for writing started at a young age and grew throughout the years as she worked as a columnist for her university paper, and then moved on to be the Editor in Chief, which gave her the opportunity to freelance for the Maclean's University Guidebook.

Catherine is very involved in her community as she sat on town council as a student representative in high school. In 2017, she was a recipient of the Brooke & Brittany Henderson Award for Youth and in 2018, she received the Lieutenant Governor's Community Volunteer Award and the Lieutenant Governor's Ontario Heritage Award for Youth Achievement.
