Meet the Staff: Caitlin Johnson

Westborough Country Club's Employee Feature of the Month
Caitlin Johnson, Events Director

Caitlin Johnson has been at Westborough for just over a year. 

We decided to have a sit down and learn more about her.

Q: What college did you go to?

CJ: I graduated from University of Missouri in May of 2013.

Q: What did you study at Mizzou?

CJ: Human Development and Family Studies

Q: That sounds fun! But how did you get into event planning?

CJ: All through high school and college I worked at a Country Club
 and I mostly worked events. So I had a lot of experience 
so when the opportunity arose, I applied and here I am!

Q: What is your favorite Club event?

CJ: I love Night Golf. It was one of the first events that I planned 

when I got to WCC last year. This year was even more fun.

 It's great to see the Members having such a good time. 

It is such a unique event and both the Members and the staff really enjoy it.

Q: What do you want Members to know about event planning at Westborough?

CJ: I think a lot of people think that event planning is time consuming or a hassle, 
but it really isn't. We work with budgets of every type and are as flexible 
as we can be. Plus, we always have a lot of fun. 

Q: What is your favorite part about Westborough?

I really enjoy getting to know the Members. The Members are so welcoming
 and very genuine people. I get to know the Members 
who plan private events the best because 

we spend a lot of time together working on their events.

Q: Wonderful! So, what is your favorite thing to do in St. Louis?

CJ: I love listening to live music. I go to as many concerts as I possibly can. 

I also love trying new restaurants.

Q: What is your favorite concert venue in St. Louis?

CJ: My favorite would have to be the Old Rock House. I just love everything about it. 

Q: Since you have tried so many restaurants in St. Louis, which is your favorite?

CJ: The best restaurant I have ever been to would be a tie between Five Bistro 
on the Hill or Sidney Street Cafe. But if we are going out
 before a show or out for the evening, 

we frequent the Shaved Duck.

Q: What do you like to do outside of work?

CJ: I really enjoy checking out local breweries.

 I also walk in Tower Grove Park as often as I can.

 And I love to cook.

Q: What is your favorite dish to cook?

CJ: I try to cook something different every time instead of always 
cooking the same thing. My recent favorites would be a breakfast frittata 
or salmon and asparagus. I use Pinterest or Food Network
 for most of my ideas and then I try and make each dish my own.

Q: So you watch a lot of Food Network, is that your favorite TV station?

CJ: Oh yes, I watch it constantly. But I also love House of Cards, 

Homeland, Breaking Bad, shows like that.

Q: Last question, where will your next vacation be?

CJ: Short term I would like to go back to Red Rocks, CO. 

We went this year for Widespread Panic and it was amazing. 

Long term I would love to go to Scotland and Ireland. 

I have never been out of the country 

and those are at the top of my list.
