Career

She is most famous for her role as Tammy Layne Winslow, the daughter of Cassie Layne Winslow and ex-husband, Rob Layne, on the CBS soap opera "Guiding Light" whom she portrayed from July 2002 to March 2007.

After performing in a few local plays, Gatschet began to appear in theatrical productions off-Broadway in New York. She also began to make commercials for television and radio, and to make episodic TV appearances in shows such as "As the World Turns" and "Law & Order". During her first year of college at New York University (NYU), Gatschet won roles in a few independent feature films like Roger Dodger and Virgin.
