Caitlin is a dancer and choreographer, and she's also a software engineer at Google in New York. In the first part of two episodes, she talks about her various living situations over the years in New York, and a three-year stint in Denver, including her current one with a roommate in Brooklyn that she's much more happy with; learning to code, getting a masters degree at NYU and the steps that led her to becoming a Google employee; how technology may factor into her future dance projects; how hard it is to make a living from being in modern dance, and how it's hard for anyone to, ultimately, be satisfied with what they do.
