Biography
Cait was born and raised in Madison, Wisconsin, but has called New York City home for the past dozen years. On camera, she can be seen starring in the independent feature film Ask for Jane opposite Emmy Award nominee Alison Wright ("The Americans"), Ben Rappaport (Shonda Rhimes's "For the People"), Cody Horn (Magic Mike), Sarah Ramos ("Parenthood"), and a whole slew of other amazing actors. She’s also had the privilege of portraying an epic death scene as Nurse Monk on Steven Soderbergh's "The Knick" opposite Clive Owen, and a seamstress suspected of murder on "Bull" opposite Michael Weatherly. In the theater world, Cait’s favorite role has been originating the zombie slayer Maeve in the NYIT award-winning hit R & J & Z, a gory sequel to Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. You may have also spotted her in the magical rooftop garden of Sleep No More during her 5-month stint playing Diana in Gallow Green. She has performed at La MaMa, the O’Neill, the New Ohio, and 59E59, among other kickass venues both in and out of NYC.​ Cait is a proud member of SAG-AFTRA and Actor's Equity Association, The New York Women in Film & Television, acclaimed theatre collective The Shelter , and is a long-term activist with Planned Parenthood. She currently lives in Manhattan with her cat, Stevens.
