Kasey is a driven New York-based creative inspired by the motivation to connect with different communities, cultures, and walks of life through a passion for storytelling. She is fascinated by pushing the boundaries on what forms impactful storytelling can embody through producing immersive experiences, journalism, live performances, creating art, editing films, and writing stories.

Her work is influenced by her dance training from Nashville Ballet, New Dialect, Interlochen Center for the Arts, Violette Verdy at L'Academie Americain de Danse de Paris, Suzanne Farrell, Andra and Ernesta Corvino, and summers at the Pre-Movement Invention Project and Ellison Ballet.
