About Me

Hello, my name is Catherine Gross, and I am so glad to be a part of the Belleville CEO program. I currently attend Althoff Catholic High School as a senior. I actively participate in basketball, softball, and bass fishing, while also being involved in extracurriculars such as Rotary Club, National Honor Society, the Cardinal Glennon Junior Board, managing the football team, Crusaders Against Drunk Driving, and being a Eucharistic Minister at weekly Mass.

I signed up for Belleville CEO without knowing exactly what I want to do in the future. After seeing friends go through this program and watching how much they grew and matured, I knew this was something I wanted to be a part of. I wanted to get another point of view on businesses and see all the hard work and dedication it takes to grow a business. I also hope this program will help me become more confident, meet new people, and learn from different business owners in the community.

After high school, I am planning on attending college and majoring in sports marketing. I have always enjoyed being involved in sports, so I think sports marketing would be a great way to combine my interests in sports and business. I am interested in learning more about the different opportunities in sports marketing, such as working with sports teams, athletes, or businesses. I am not completely sure what career I want to have yet, but I hope college and the Belleville CEO program will help me figure that out. I am excited to learn more about the business side of sports and see where this career path could take me.
