About Kathleen

Freelance Casting Professional based out of New York. I began my career in commercial and fashion casting before spending a year at the Walt Disney Company in ABC's Primetime Casting Department (NY Office) where I assisted in the casting of series regulars on shows such as Modern Family, Desperate Housewives, Scrubs and Grey's Anatomy. I joined Adrienne Stern Casting in December of 2011 as a casting assistant before becoming casting associate in 2013. There I helped cast numerous feature films, short films, commercials, industrials, and music videos. Some highlights include, Girls Guide to Depravity, Lucky Them, Stealing Chanel, The Nymphets, and Colin Quinns Cop Show.

At the beginning of the summer I left a long term position at Adrienne
Stern Casting to independently pursue a new challenge in the casting world. This summer I served as casting director for my first feature, a film that
shot in New England and I am currently wrapping up two short films for
NY based directors.


She is a graduate of Sacred Heart University in Fairfield CT and is pursuing her Masters in Cinema Studies at New York University.
