Employee Spotlight: Cathy Demerle
Whatâs the best piece of professional advice someone has given you?
âListen closely and think before you speak.â
What is the coolest thing on your desk?
A cell phone stand. An engineering student gave it to me as a gift when he visited Rodem for the day. He made it on his 3D printer
What is a special skill or talent you have?
I am a ceramic potter. I refer to myself as a âhobby potterâ. I have a small ceramic studio at home where I create functional pottery pieces on the pottery wheel or building by hand.
What are your hobbies or interests outside of work?
Travel. We have a campervan that we will travel in. Some of my favorite trips are to the beach, music festivals, and wineries. I also like to travel by train. I have taken the Amtrak to Glacier National Park and to San Francisco. My next train trip will be on the Alaska Railroad to Denali National Park.
Do you have a personal philosophy that drives you?
âIf it doesnât have two uses, I donât need it.â This is especially true in the campervan. âIf it doesnât have two uses it doesnât go in.â
