Her future career goal is to work at a land-grant university teaching and working in research with floriculture crops.
\u201cI want to pass on the knowledge and passion that my agriculture teachers and college instructors gave to me. Because of the opportunities I have had to travel, learn and meet new people, I have been given what I need to bloom where I have been planted,\u201d she said.
In 2015, Kaylee received her Bachelor of Science in\u00a0agriculture at the University of Georgia, where she was also a member of the school\u2019s Horticulture Club and Pi Alpha Xi, which is a floriculture, landscape, horticulture and ornamental horticulture honors society.
