Though she left academe for more than two decades, she said she is happy to be back.
"It is more conducive to my management style," she says. "Creativity is encouraged."
The Money Man
After graduating from Northeastern in 1990, Catalano worked as a security guard at a Boston homeless shelter, St. Francis House. He spent time working security for Boston Public Schools. For 18 months, he worked at Madison Park High School, one of Boston's roughest schools.
"It was a crazy, crazy place," he says. "I was younger and more energetic, and I loved it."
He moved to Washington, and joined the Department of Justice. His work overseeing grant programs gave him a view of policing across the country, he said. He worked with the Community Oriented Policing Strategies (COPS) program, helping to hand out over $1.2 billion a year in grant money to police agencies.
He returned to Boston to work in Police Commissioner Paul Evans's strategic planning office--this time working to get grant money rather than handing it out--before taking his new position.
