Catherine Roome started her career like many young woman at the University of Victoria. There she earned her engineering degree and worked on co-op at the Neil Squire Society where she adapted technology so that wheelchair-bound people could blow on tubes to open computer applications. She joined BC Hydro in 1991 as a Project Engineer and was there for 15 years. In 2005 she joined the BC Safety Authority in the role of Vice President of Engineering. Now she is the Chief Operating Officer and in February of 2008 she received the Influential Women in Business Award. |
