Cassie grew up singing, dancing, and acting in musical theatre. Initially focusing on a career in forensic anthropology, while wanting to stay creative; she studied Anthropology with a minor in Film and Digital Media in college. She was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2009(during her Junior year). Faced with the recommendation to take a quarter off school for treatment, she worried the cost would force her to not complete her degree. The hospital angel fund paid her treatment costs, opening her eyes to support programs she didn't know existed. This generosity combined with her college being flexible about her class load while recovering from surgery, allowed her to keep on track to complete her degree and not be in deep medical debt early in her life. This support showed her how important it is to give back when you can.

She has always been focused on project managing in her personal life and this skill set transferred well from theater and film making settings to affordable housing development. Starting out as back office administration for a construction and development company in 2012, she quickly realized she wanted to support a non-profit in their affordable housing work. Since 2015, she has worked for non-profit affordable housing organizations and supported their efforts to build healthy, sustainable, equitable, affordable homes for all. She believes housing is a human right and works to create opportunities to build a connected community that cares for all of its members.``
