At a young age, she learned the love of sports, including team work, pushing one’s self to excel and the love of competition. kasey lettered in four sports in high school, earning her a coveted college scholarship to play Division I soccer at North Carolina State University; where she was recognized as not only an athlete, but a scholar athlete.

During her educational endeavors, Kasey found herself intrigued by math. She found herself pulled by the ability to work with math in its application in the field of engineering. So after completing her undergraduate degree at North Carolina State University, Kasey pursued her Master’s Degree in Environmental Engineering at UF, being selected for a fellowship. Levi, Kasey’s husband, was attending the law school at UF and they became lifelong Gator fans. Upon graduation, Kasey earned the immediate opportunity to work for a billion dollar environmental engineering firm. She designed and completed multi-million dollar sewer and water projects, serving Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia residents and businesses.  During this time in her career, she learned to appreciate how property is valued and how it needs attention to maintain and retain its value. In addition to a prosperous engineering career, Kasey and her husband have actively invested in, designed and developed many Northeast Florida neighborhoods. These projects have been sold to some of the country's best publicly traded homebuilders. 
Kasey and her husband bought their first home in the San Marco area in 2003 after falling in love with the character of the historic neighborhood. This quickly led Kasey to the realization that she loved everything about the real estate business. Here was a way to use her math skills, her knowledge of the environment and property values, as well as her effervescent personality to drive a career. Three homes later, Kasey and Levi are still residing in San Marco, where they are raising their four busy children.
