From the moment she could speak, Catherine Cioffi ’12 knew that she wanted to be a journalist. “I always loved to write and engage with people. At my core I was, and still am, a storyteller,” said Catherine. While at Fordham University, Catherine majored in Communications and Journalism and minored in Political Science.
