Of her experience as a Muskie, Kaylee says, “I never expected to receive such a well-rounded education that has helped me discover a passion I never would have pursued otherwise, my love of health and communication, and my dream to be a professor. I am thankful for the connections I made with faculty, staff, and other students. Each person I came in contact with helped me become the strong, hard-working individual I am today.
