She wants to get her high school diploma and attend a four-year college to study early childhood education. Kylie loves kids and helping people and wants to be able to make a difference in young children's lives and contribute to their development. She was lots of experience working with kids from working in the special education room in her middle school years and from her job. She currently works at a daycare/preschool as a classroom assistant. She has gone through some personal hardships in her life that have set her back, but it hasn't stopped her from pushing through and trying to build a happy life for herself. She is a competitive dancer who has put long and hard hours into working on routines with her teammates, which has been justified by awards and recognitions received by her team.
