Catherine Kherian, San Francisco, CA

🌍 Catherine, originally a Product Manager from France, now lives near San Francisco. Her journey with Climate Fresk began in 2021. Realizing the magnitude of the problem and inspired by how accessible the workshop made the subject, Catherine immediately wanted to use it to raise awareness and motivate action against climate change in the USA.

👥 Over the past two years, Catherine has facilitated over 30 Climate Fresk workshops, engaging more than 200 people, ranging from children and adults to sustainability professionals and leadership teams. 

📈 As the West Coast Coordinator, Catherine not only leads monthly community workshops in the Bay Area but also organizes Climate Fresks at major events such as the San Francisco Climate Week, where 7 facilitators managed 9 tables and over 50 participants. Her role extends beyond facilitation as she helps onboard new facilitators and contributes to digital marketing efforts.

🌟 Why Catherine joined the Climate Fresk facilitators communityL "Our household can reduce its carbon footprint, but with each Climate Fresk I facilitate, I amplify that impact. I inspire others, and they inspire me. Every workshop is unique, always teaching me something new. After each session, there’s always someone inspired to become a facilitator themselves!"
