Celebrate our veteran military service members at this special Women with Vision program. Come hear Erica Catalano and Cathrine Switzer talk about their service has impacted their careers.
Erica Catalano has 16 years of experience as a lawyer, navigating a variety of legal issues that encompass criminal law, military and national security law, as well as estate planning. As a dedicated counselor, she assists her clients through the planning stages, including complex decision making.
She earned her undergraduate degree in Business - Real Estate from Florida State University and obtained her law degree from Florida International University College of Law. Before entering law school, Erica gained valuable experience in both the public and private sectors of the real estate industry. Her background includes serving as a trial attorney in criminal and military justice, as well as working as senior counsel practicing national security law for the federal government. In 2012, she joined the Florida Army National Guard JAG Corps, transferring to the United States Army Reserve JAG Corps in 2022. Currently, she is with the 416th Civil Affairs Battalion in Fallbrook, California, as an International Law Officer.
Admitted to the Florida Bar in 2010, Erica is a member of the Real Property Probate and Trust Section, which aligns closely with her focus on estate planning. Additionally, she is involved in the Solo & Small Firm Section, and previously authored an article in the International Law Quarterly for the International Law Section. Erica's commitment to the community is evident through her membership in various organizations, including the Rotary Club of St. Augustine Sunset, St. Johns Association of Women Lawyers, St. Johns County Bar Association, Lake County Bar Association, and the Mid-Florida Estate Planning Council. She also participates in the St. Augustine Junior Service League (provisional) and the St. Johns County Chamber of Commerce. Erica holds an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell, which is their highest rating.
Cathrine Switzer is a U.S. Army and Florida Army National Guard veteran with more than 20 years of combined experience in financial management and bank leadership. She currently serves as the Financial Center Manager of Fifth Third Bank's Beachwalk Financial Center in St. Johns County, Florida. Her passion for banking stems from a desire to help others achieve financial confidence and success. After transitioning from active military service, Cathrine discovered that many financial resources and educational opportunities available to veterans were not readily known or accessible. Like many service members, she had to learn how to navigate personal finance, homeownership, and long-term financial planning on her own. Those experiences inspired her commitment to helping others gain the knowledge and resources needed to make informed financial decisions. Today, Cathrine combines her military background and banking expertise to support individuals, families, businesses, and fellow veterans through financial wellness education, relationship banking, and community outreach. She remains dedicated to serving the veteran community and helping others build a stronger financial future.
Women with Vision mentors, inspires and empowers professional women through education and collaboration to embrace their vision, purpose and value. Programs offer a dynamic blend of education, collaboration and leadership development to provide women with the tools, resources and support needed to excel in their careers and personal growth.
