Cathy Finley

In this picture, Cathy Finley is helping to cut out buttons, as we stock pile inventory here at STEPs on Arthur. Cathy’s skills will be in high demand as we anticipate a busy season for Ribbons, with Covid restrictions lifting and people returning to events, festivals and exhibitions in the coming months. Cathy started service with STEPs in the fall of 2019 and she quickly became a welcome addition to the Ribbons Prep program. Not only did she demonstrate a willingness to try new things and take pride in her work, but we also quickly learned to appreciate her friendliness, her direct, straightforward approach and her confidence. She starts each day checking in with people to share a “good morning” and to ask how they are doing and she would never think to leave at the end of the day without telling people to “Stay safe out there”. Cathy is still trying to figure out what she wants for her future but with her potential, we know that great things are ahead. She wants to end this profile saying that she is proud to be a participant at STEPs on Arthur.
