Composer - French Horn - Photographer/Founder, Easel Images

Caitlin, an Atlanta native, stands at the unique crossroads of composition and business, championing the cause of integrating arts into the fabric of business literacy. Through her studies at the University of Georgia, her intent to study composition allowed her to incorporate life's diverse narratives into her music and laid an integral foundation for her business philosophy of supporting creatives and their life work. Recognizing the significant gaps in financial literacy within the arts community, Caitlin has made it her mission to advocate for the arts and ensure artist’s perceptions will always have a seat at the decision-making table. Caitlin is in her final year of studies at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, TN, where she is completing her Master of Business Administration (MBA) in Music Business.
