Biography
Originally growing up in remote areas of the harsh North West of Western Australia, Caitlin moved to the state capital of Perth when she was only ten with a dream of performing on screen and stage. Her introduction to acting was initially through local drama schools where she quickly showed an aptitude for the craft and a willingness to learn and push herself.

Since then she has continued to hone her skills, from the Howard Fine Master Classes in Sydney and Melbourne where she was one of the youngest actors ever invited to attend, to the Foundation Course with Laura Gardner. These courses confirmed what Caitlin already knew, there was nothing more she would rather do than act. Determined to pursue this career, she convinced her family to allow her to move to Melbourne at the age of 16.

At the age of 18, Caitlin moved to Los Angeles and continued her acting journey with success. Among career highlights to date, she has been in a number of short films, including playing a Russian human traffic victim in the award winning film Blindspot and a serial killer in the Filmbites’ Professional Partnership Programme film Darkness.

In 2016, Caitlin was cast in the role of a young Daisy Anderson on the MTV horror series, Scream.
