Kait Gallagher is a New York based Writer and Producer with fifteen years of experience across television, film, print, and digital mediums. She began her career with National Geographic and has since worked on series for History, Investigation Discovery, A & E, ABC News Studios, Hulu, CNBC and Oxygen. Most passionate about long-form narratives that explore larger social issues, she is dedicated to delivering compassionate and thorough storytelling that moves.

Her recent credits as a Story Producer include Secrets of Polygamy for A & E, A Plan to Kill for Oxygen, and Death in the Dorms for ABC News Studios/Hulu. Death in the Dorms season two reached #8 on Hulu and was nominated for a 2024 Critics Choice RealTV Award.

As a journalist, her investigative feature article, Rogue Surgeon: The Tale of Eric the Red, was published in the September 2022 issue of Texas Observer as a cover story. It explores the harrowing career of former Houston-surgeon, Eric Scheffey. Nicknamed “Eric the Red” for the extreme blood loss in his surgeries, Scheffey made millions off the butchered backs - and dead bodies - of his patients. One of the most-sued surgeons in U.S. history, Scheffey manipulated multiple systems to avoid prosecution and achieve a 20-year career as an orthopedic surgeon. Rogue Surgeon includes first-hand accounts from former patients, family members of the deceased, and those who worked tirelessly to stop Scheffey - and surgeons like him since. The article was listed as a top ten story and 2022 must-read for the magazine.

Kait has also ventured into narrative storytelling as a Writer and Director. Her debut short, Coming to Terms, which details one woman’s experience with substance abuse, premiered at the Oscar-and-BAFTA-qualifying festival LA Shorts in 2019. The script for her second narrative short, The Letter Box, was a semi-finalist for the Screencraft Film Fund Grant. 

She has also worked on digital content for global brands such as Volvo, Lipton, Country Crock and TGIFridays, transforming creative briefs into robust 360 campaigns.
