Kaitlin is a Melbourne based performer who has recently graduated from CQUniversity, Mackay with a Bachelor of Theatre, specialising in Music Theatre. Her passion arose early and never ceased, moving from childhood fun to studying theatre at CQU with aspirations of professional performing.

Singing was Kaitlin’s first love, she is a mezzo- soprano with interest in many different vocal styles. Her acting abilities have been honed through her training and external research, she loves character work and has a particular fascination with accents/dialects. She is a strong mover with dance training across multiple disciplines including jazz, tap, contemporary and ballet. She is an LGBTQ+, neurodiverse performer with strong passions and moral values which she upholds in all aspects of her life. Kaitlin has recently moved to Melbourne to take on professional performing on a larger scale upon finishing her bachelors degree. Her most recent theatrical involvements have been in 6 CQU Mackay productions across 2023-2025, the 2023, 2024 and 2025 tours of Safety Circus and the 2025 tour of Choices.
