At CU Boulder, Kaitlyn studied under renowned artists including Michelle Ellsworth, Erika Randall, Helanius J. Wilkins, and Rennie Harris. Her passion for technical production began there and expanded through an internship at summer dance festival The Yard on Martha’s Vineyard and the Disney College Program at Walt Disney World. She has since stage managed productions for artists across the country, including Helanius J. Wilkins at Dance Place in Washington, D.C., Olivia Dwyer Dance Projects at Gibney Dance Center in New York City, and Denver ballet company Wonderbound, where she served as Assistant Stage Manager for two seasons.
