1. Introduction
My birth name is Sacha Elizabeth Cato and I was born
in London, Friday 2nd August 1985.
I am the youngest of four children to Mr Joseph Cato
Mrs Gloria Cato.
Both Mr and Mrs Cato where born in Grenada, known
as “The Island of Spice” and migrated to London in
their teenage years where they finished their higher
education.

2. Early Life
I was born and bread in London but more
specifically, Fulham where I attended Primary and
Secondary education and engaged in many recreational
activities including Ballet, Piano lesson, Gymnastics and
my favorite, Football.

3. Higher Education
I attended St Charles Catholic Sixth Form College in Ladbroke
Grove London where I had studied Business
Studies, Information Technology and Media Studies A Levels.
Whilst studying, I also worked part-time in the family Estate
Agency business to gain some experience and learn how to
manage the business from top to toe.
At this stage of my life I believed that I wanted to become a
Project Manager as I was really good at Business
Studies, Accounts, I.T and felt comfortable liaising with people
of all ages.
I was advised by the career team at College to study a diverse
business studies degree as Project Managers are required to
have a broad knowledge in Business, Accounts, I.T and
Economics.
I applied to study Accounting Management and Information
Systems (BSC) at the University of Hertfordshire as they were
the only university in England to do such a diverse course – glad
I got in! 

4. Higher Education
Whilst attending University of Hertfordshire I would commute
back to London on weekends to see my family and work part-
time in Vue Cinema, Fulham to fund my hobbie, traveling.
Most years the family and I would go back to the Caribbean for
Carnival, unwind and see the family but I wanted to explore
other parts of the world which is something I had to fund.
In the course of my degree, I had to do a placement year where
I was a Projects Manager’s Assistant for a government funded
organisation, RW Rechere Associates. Whilst the pay was not
great and I had to continue to work part-time in the Cinema, my
main focus was to gain as much experience as possible whilst
completing the project successfully.
After doing the above mentioned placement for one year I
realised that I did not want to become a Project Manager
anymore – so I went back to the drawing board and completed
my final year at University.

5. Work Experience
My last exam was early June 2008 and I was very excited as I
was going on a two month holiday. I always wanted to go to the
USA and was very excited to be spending one whole month in
New York and the other month in the Caribbean with the family.
After being back in England for two weeks in the recession, I
had my first financial job as a Costings/Billings Assistant for a
solicitors firm, Wixted and Co (Claims for you) .
After working for Wixted and Co (Claims for you) for six
months, I was made redundant. My last day was Friday 16th
January 2009 and I had commence working at a financial
practice, Martin Greene Ravden LLP as a Junior Accountant
dated Monday 16th February 2009. 
I worked for Martin Greene Ravden for 1.5 years when I felt that
I needed a new challenge, I am currently working for the 2nd
biggest PR Agency in the World, Webershandwick as a
Reporting Financial Analysis.
