Catherine Thevenot is a lifelong resident of Lake Charles and a proud graduate of McNeese State University, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Business Management.

As Campaign Manager for United Way Southwest Louisiana, Catherine serves as the bridge between the accounting and resource development teams. She thrives on both the analytical side of fundraising and the opportunity to connect with people from all walks of life. Catherine began her career with United Way on the accounting team, but it quickly became clear that her strengths and passion were best suited for resource development.

Life outside of work is usually spent with her children—Landon, Tyler Grace, and Boomer—whose energy, personalities and extracurricular activities keep her on her toes. When she’s not out in the community fundraising, Catherine can usually be found cheering on her kids or enjoying time with friends and family.
