Originally from Illinois, Cathryn was raised in the Chicago suburbs playing piano and clarinet. She holds a Bachelor’s of Music Education from Illinois Wesleyan University (2015), and completed her Master’s in Clarinet Performance in 2021 from Boise State University, where she studied clarinet and conducting. Cathryn works for her church as music director, freelances as an accompanist for the area, and is an active clarinetist in community ensembles, having performed with the Treasure Valley Concert Band, Hymns of Thanksgiving Orchestra, and Millennial Choirs and Orchestras.

She spends her summers serving as the Music Director of the Boise Community Band, a position she has held since 2020. She lives in Boise with her husband and musician partner Jack Gardner, and currently teaches Beginning Band in the Boise School District. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, biking, reading and experimenting with crafts.
