Catalina Solutions LLC

Championing Inclusive Communication and Sustainable Communities


Established in 2009, Catalina Solutions represents a collective effort led by me, Kate Ervin, to build resilient communication and communities. Our central mission is to provide dependable, high-quality speech-to-text services that enhance access to educational and organizational opportunities. -
Communication Access: Under my leadership, and with the support of a dedicated team, TypeWell has become a key player in expanding accessibility for individuals who are D/deaf or hard-of-hearing, as well as for those with other communication challenges. Open to Sustainability: While our immediate focus is on accessible communication, I maintain a keen interest in environmental science and urban planning. This adds a broader layer to our vision for resilient, sustainable communities. -

Leading a team of part-time employees and independent contractors, my career journey has shifted from environmental science and urban planning to initiatives that broaden educational accessibility. I specialize in real-time communication access and am deeply invested in exploring the convergence of inclusivity and sustainability. I hold a Masters of Urban Planning from Hunter College.
