Chief Executive Officer/Managing Member
HELIUS, LLC
Catherine was born in Queens, New York to immigrant parents from Bogota, Colombia. She is an alumnus of Grand Canyon University with a bachelor’s degree in business management and an associate’s degree from Ashworth College in human resource management. Her financial background comes from Washington Mutual where she was a licensed banker.
Despite the financial background, her heart was in law enforcement. Pursuing that desire, she became a detention officer for the Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office. Catherine combined her love for law enforcement and finances when she accepted a position as a financial exploitation investigator for Adult Protective Services.
When she met her husband, John, her world changed to aviation. As John and Catherine began to blend their families, they purchased a helicopter construction company named HELIUS, LLC. As a minority woman-owned business, HELIUS, LLC assisted in the Hurricane Maria Recovery efforts and continues to do helicopter construction jobs throughout the U.S.
