Kait (she/they) comes from an arts background, which is not unusual considering they were born in New Orleans, LA. They were an active member of the Talented Drama & Drama Club programs at Mandeville High School on the Northshore and attended NOCCA (New Orleans Center of Creative Arts) for both theatre and creative writing. In college, Kait continued to pursue English full-time at the encouragement of her freshman composition professor and earned her Bachelor of Arts in English (with a concentration in Creative Writing and Minor in Film, Theatre, and Communication Arts) from the University of New Orleans in 2014.
The next year, Kait joined the team of a tech firm in the rental housing sphere, being the sole copywriter on the team. They were promoted to Digital Marketing Director in two years and managed a team of four employees for a four-and-half-year period. During this time, they also returned to UNO upon an invitation to join their Master of Arts in English program, where they focused on Southern & Plantation literature. Kait graduated in December of 2018 and was honored with the 2019 Seraphia Leyda Award for Best Masters Thesis. Nowadays, they are working as a Content Marketing Manager at Bloomreach, a revolutionary SaaS company in the e-commerce space, and couldn't be happier to be on such a collaborative and innovative team.
