Catherine Rossiter

Catherine Rossiter is a dedicated lecturer at the Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT) in Dún Laoghaire, Ireland, and a single mother of 12-year-old twins, one of whom requires full-time care. Divorced and financially navigating the challenges of raising her children while managing a mortgage until the age of 70, she emphasizes the importance of having the option to work beyond traditional retirement age. Rossiter is fortunate to have supportive employment conditions but advocates for greater choices for all, reflecting on the financial and emotional implications of retirement policies.
