Business Manager
Bio: Kaitlin aka Kait loves to sing and make music with friends. So, Tangled has always been a perfect fit! On top of that Kait also loves to spend every summer at YMCA Camp Minikani as a summer camp counselor, roast marshmallows over a camp first, curl up and watch a good movie or read a good book, and spend as much time with family and friends as possible. Kait hopes to be a Speech Pathologist one day, but only after she gets a chance to see more of the world. She also has the biggest sweet tooth ever, so if you're ever wondering how to win her over you can buy her chocolate covered strawberries, peanut butter M&Ms, a cookies and cream bar, a Heath bar, or Ben & Jerry's Half Baked ice cream.

When she's not singing astronomically high soprano lines with her fellow blonde divas, she moonlights as a sorority girl, a dance and theater minor, amateur cook/baker, and an avid Netflix watcher. Elephants are her favorite animal for no particular reason and she is constantly in search of shopaholics anonymous meetings. Suggestions are welcome.
