WHO AM I:
Hiya! 👋 I’m Cait, a normal person with a normal job who happened to get all her degrees in opera. Even though I don’t do it full time anymore, I’ll always love the art (of course!), so now I make videos to help make opera feel more accessible and relevant to people living in, you know, not 1800.

GET IN TOUCH:
I’d love to hear from you! I bucked socials a while ago, so until I can afford a social media manager, reaching out through the contact form on my website (coming soon!) is definitely the way to go.

🌷 Cait
