Catherine Baab-Muguira

Catherine Baab-Muguira is a Fool.com.au analyst/writer. A Fool since 2010, she comes at investing by way of being a compulsive reader and has a keen eye for detail from years of working as a freelance journalist. In 2012, she joined the Motley Fool's Analyst Development Program to pursue her love of investing full time, and worked as an analyst on one of The Motley Fool’s US services before heading down to Australia. A graduate of the University of South Carolina and the University of Auckland, she has lived and worked all over the world, including year-long stints in Singapore and New Zealand. Hence her great love for nyonya laksa and the All Blacks. We’ll forgive her that last one!
