LEARN FROM A TELECOM VETERAN WITH 35+ YEARS IN THE FIELD.
Hi, I’m Catherine, a licensed Professional Engineer in Ontario with a master’s in Communication and Electronic Engineering.
Over the past 35+ years, I’ve worked with companies like China Unicom, Nortel Networks, and Wind Mobile, where I managed transmission departments and led engineering teams.
For the past 16 years, I’ve dedicated my time to teaching Pathloss after witnessing firsthand how even the most experienced engineers need refreshing the foundational knowledge they needed. This course is my way of transferring decades of hands-on experience in a clear, structured, and supportive environment.
