Calvert began working as a fetish and art model in the spring of her junior year of college. She chose her stage name in honor of professor Clay Calvert after taking his class on Mass Media Law as a sophomore. She stated that "It felt right because really if I hadn’t taken his class, I wouldn’t be where I am right now," referring to how she learned during his class that pornography wasn't illegal as she had initially thought. She also stated that the first name "Casey" was derived from the initials of her Celebrity crush's children, K.C., but did not specify who she was referring to. She entered the adult film industry on November 5, 2012. Her first scene was for the studio SexArt.
In September 2015, Calvert was hired to write a monthly BDSM and fetish-themed column for GameLink's The Naked Truth blog and answer consumer questions in a section of their website titled "Casey’s Corner". She has also written about pornography for The Huffington Post.
