I am so excited to return to CYT after a break of a few sessions. I will teach Wiggles and Giggles again this session. I have been an early childhood teacher for over 20 years. I have also been in high school and community theater, so CYT mixes two of my favorite things. I am homeschooling my 5th grader and my kindergartner this year and I am excited to be back!

After leaving CYT for college, Kaitlyn performed with Rice University’s improv troupe Spontaneous Combustion for four years, during which she performed at various improv houses, including the Upright Citizens’ Brigade’s New York location during the Del Close Marathon.
