Professional:

Kaylee graduated from Beaver High School in 2022 with her high school diploma as well as an Associate Degree of Science. She is currently Majoring in Psychology at Utah Tech University. She has been trained in Substance Abuse and Prevention Skills Training (SAPST), QPR, and Mental Health First Aid. I joined my school’s youth coalition at the end of freshman year and I have been involved with prevention ever since.

Hobbies:​​

• I really enjoy playing sports. I have always been very competitive, growing up in a house with two brothers. I participated in Basketball, volleyball, cross country, and track and Field in high school. Now I really enjoy playing with my family or in rec leagues.
• Another passion of mine is weightlifting. I started lifting weights in high school to become stronger for Basketball. It has now become an obsession of mine. I love the feeling of giving all your effort and doing something you never imagined you could do. It is amazing what our bodies are capable of. Weightlifting has not only strengthened me physically, but mentally as well.
• I also enjoy reading. I have been a book buff for as long as I can remember.  My favorite genres are autobiographies and historical fiction. My Favorite Book so far would have to be The Book Thief  Markus Zusak!
• Baking and cooking are some of my other hobbies. It started when I was eight flipping pancakes in the kitchen and I have loved cooking ever since. The thing I love most about baking in particular is the science aspect. If you put too much of something or not enough of something your baked good won’t turn out. Cooking is much less precise so you can be more creative. Overall I think the verdict is clear, Foodie for life!

Personal:

I grew up in Beaver here in Southern Utah. I originally planned on going up to Northern Utah, but ended up staying in Southern Utah to go to Utah Tech. I am planning on staying here to finish my degree and then heading up North for my master program.

Why I chose prevention:

​I started prevention work my Freshman year of high school. I always really loved the idea of stopping something before it happens. I joined my school’s youth coalition and fell in love with prevention. I got to see the change it brought to our school and even the community. After graduating I knew I wanted to continue to work in prevention. I found a job opening and the rest is history!
