| Caitlin Symes is an Auckland-based actor with a diverse background in theatre, film, commercials, and live entertainment—including experience as a children’s party entertainer. Her love for the arts and creativity led her to pursue acting seriously during high school, where she took on leadership roles in youth theatre, actively participated in the school's performing arts scene, and gained on-set experience as an extra. In 2025, Caitlin graduated with a Bachelor of Performing and Screen Arts from Unitec, where she trained across screen and stage performance, singing, physical theatre, and comedy. Caitlin is passionate about storytelling and creative expression. When she’s not acting, she’s often writing, scrapbooking, designing detailed costumes, or developing her skills through ongoing learning and personal projects. Outside of her creative work, you’ll find her rock climbing, enjoying the beach, attending pop culture conventions, or reading at a local café. |
