After graduating from Sherwood High School in Olney, MD, in 2017, Cait deferred her enrollment at Dartmouth College to do a service year first. Over the next year, Cait would serve over 1,700 hours in a Southeast Washington, D.C., middle school through City Year AmeriCorps, mentoring and tutoring 120 seventh-graders. Her data-driven math intervention and use of Rubik’s Cubes in behavioral intervention earned her the WilmerHale Civic Innovation Award.
As a Dartmouth student, Cait has been involved with neuroscience research in the Education Department’s Reading Brains Lab and public policy research for the Deputy Director of the Nelson A. Rockefeller Center for Public Policy and the Social Sciences. After her freshman year, Cait was selected for a fellowship in Washington, D.C., in the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Postsecondary Education, where her work centered on statistical analyses of the Department’s grant programs to inform more equitable practices in awarding institutions of higher education. Following her sophomore year, Cait interned with AMANDLA Safe-Hub, an international non-profit aimed at providing safe and enriching after-school spaces for under-resourced youth. She assisted in developing the measurement and evaluation practices and grant applications for the organization’s first North American site in Philadelphia.
Currently, Cait is interning at Northern Stage in White River Junction, VT, getting hands-on experience in all areas of live professional theater as they take the lead as the first professional LORT theater in the country to bring back live theater.
