This & That About Kayla Yancey

I grew up in Lenoir City, TN in a very close knit family. I have three younger sisters and a younger brother and lived next door to my grandmother and aunt. I went to Lenoir City High School, cheered all four years, and was involved in peer tutoring, STAR (therapeutic riding academy), and volunteering at local elementary schools.  I also worked at an after-school and summer program, which helped me decide that I wanted to become a teacher. I love being around children and helping them to experience and learn new things. I am finishing up my last 17 hours of undergraduate and taking 3 graduate classes this year. I'm very excited about finishing my undergraduate and even more excited about interning in Knox County next year. I love reading just about anything. My boyfriend is a personal trainer/strength coach, so I end up working out several times a week with him. When I'm not at school, I'm usually working at Macaroni Grill.
