Caty Bulgrin, MS, CRC, LPC, Director of Operations
I am truly honored to join the Journey21 team. I have worked in the nonprofit sector for over 20 years, primarily serving adults with disabilities. Growing up with a grandmother with mental health and a cousin with special needs, I developed a passion for helping people live their fullest life through the right supports and resources.
Prior to joining Journey21, I was the Director of Operations at HEAR Wisconsin. I also served as the Director of Adult Day and Residential Services at Curative Care Network. As the Director, I was charged with overseeing a $6M budget; 12 direct reports; nearly 100 indirect reports, and over 400 adults with developmental disabilities. Prior to Curative, I was a Rehabilitation Counselor and Vocational Evaluator for the Milwaukee Center for Independence (MCFI). In that role, I completed assessments to develop comprehensive vocational evaluations, Individual Rehabilitation Plans, and Individualized Plans for Employment.
In addition to my full-time job, I am a volunteer guardian for two people with disabilities.
I earned my Master of Science degree in Educational Psychology with an emphasis in Rehabilitation Counseling from UW-Milwaukee and my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from UW-Eau Claire. I am a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor. My husband, Eric, who works as a Principal Software Engineer at Northwestern Mutual, and I love traveling across the U.S and world together. I enjoy cooking, baking, and spoiling my nieces and nephews.
