Cathy McQueen is an award-winning features writer who forgot to do her degree until recently. 

She has graduated in 2017 with a communication degree with distinction from the University of Newcastle and is revelling in being a legitimately qualified journalist for the first time in her life. 

She is an unpublished author of a teen fantasy novel, a believer in social justice and is proudly left wing. 

Cathy also loved being a snow bunny when she lived with her American husband in the Pacific North West of the United States and misses America and Oregon, a lot, even though Trump is in power.
