Kaitlin Price Bowman, a 2013 graduate of Davidson, is living her dream with not just one, but two fulfilling careers. Thanks to the education and opportunities provided by Hilliard Schools, she’s been able to blend her passions with her skills.
After high school, Kaitlin attended The Ohio State University, earning a bachelor’s degree in strategic marketing and professional writing. Her love for music, nurtured through participation in the marching and concert bands, orchestra and the Columbus Symphony Youth Orchestra, followed her to college. She joined the student staff of The Ohio State Marching Band, a natural fit considering her parents met while playing in the band.
During college, Kaitlin also discovered a love for jazzercise, inspired by her mom, who has enjoyed the cardio exercise for as long as she can remember. She became an instructor and has never looked back.
Fast forward to today. Kaitlin is the Administrative Coordinator for Ohio State’s Marching and Athletic Bands, where she oversees travel and logistics for the university’s musicians. In 2021, she also purchased Hilliard Jazzercise. While she continues to teach, she acknowledges that balancing a business with a full-time job takes a village. She’s grateful for her team of instructors and her mom, who pitches in whenever needed.
Kaitlin credits several teachers and musical directors for her success, including Mr. Mark Sholl, Mr. Dave Handshue, Mrs. Carol Handshue, Mr. Don Ley, Mr. Shawn Malone, and Mr. Corey Aumiller.
