Born on the east coast and raised in Rochester, NY, Caitlin went to school at University of Pittsburgh, studying psychology and theatre arts and spent some quality time out of the United States. She traveled quite a bit---she’s been to 13 countries: Venezuela, Brazil, Kenya, South Africa, Malaysia, India, China, Japan, Hong Kong, France, England, Italy, the Caribbean Islands…much of that was back in college with a program called Semester at Sea. (Her favorite? A toss up between India and France.)
After school, she became a stage performer and a certified Kundalini yoga teacher for children. She co-created a repertory theatre summer camp, Sto-Rock Stars, for underprivileged 5th and 6th graders that was funded by Pennsylvania and a Readers Theatre workshop program for women and children on welfare to build reading skills and self-esteem. She also taught acting to children and teenagers and managed a touring company, Shakespeare in the Schools, which toured the tri-state area performing for grade schools and high schools. She enjoys sharing her skills with kids and helping with their confidence and accomplishments.
After living in NYC for many years, she felt that it was time to get on the left coast to continue to pursue film and TV. She’s been in LA for almost 3 ½ years and it's now home. She’s learned a tremendous amount about the business from many supportive people, she enjoys all of the natural beauty and has become much more active in outdoor sports, like canyon hiking. Between auditions and training and jobs, she produced her first short that she wrote and in which she acted in 2007. It's called My Big Fat Shotgun Wedding and you can find it on this site under REEL. Many other goodies on the site--enjoy!
