She comes from Mexican and Polish descent and is a born and raised Texan (she proudly refers to herself as Tex-Mex). She is an alumni of the Humphries School of Musical Theatre, an affiliate of Theatre Under the Stars (TUTS), and she credits this company for giving her a start in "the business." She is a graduate of the Theatre Program at Texas State University. Although her BFA is in acting, she soon found her true passion to be “behind the table” work through collaboration with the musical theater department on their productions and masterclasses. She continued her education with a summer at Shakespeare’s Globe and the Royal Shakespeare Company.
Post-graduation, Kaycee began working with The National Women's Theatre Festival (NWTF, formally Women's Theatre Festival WTF).

In 2020, Kaycee partnered with fellow TXST alum Jeremiah Porter to create JP + KC Productions, a production company dedicated to producing virtual fundraiser cabarets to amplify voices of marginalized groups. The company released four virtual cabarets, featuring Broadway stars, that raised funds for The Shirley Knight Memorial Fund, The Actors Fund, Black Lives Matter, The National Organization for Women and Georgia Stand Up. Each stream collected over 10,000 views and countless engagements.
In the 2020 election run-offs Kaycee sought out ways to use her artistic voice for change.
