AmeriCorps VISTA, Center for Student Engagement

"For the past two years, Kylie has served a our VISTA for programming and community service. She goes above and beyond for our students. She works 10, 12 and even 14-hour days to make sure that our students are receiving the support and programming needed to be successful at NKU. She never says no to a project and always jumps in to help with any projects. We do not know what we will do without her and the positive energy that she bring to NKU!"

What is your favorite thing about NKU?
I love being able to connect with different students and watch them grow throughout their time at NKU. Oh, and retreats are always a blast!

It's a tough pick between Starbucks for a quick break for caffeine or any spot where you can feel relaxed instantly by seeing the glow of Griffin Hall's buildings lights.

What’s the first word that comes to mind when you think about NKU?
Community. 

What is your favorite way to spend your free time?
My free time is usually spent playing with my cat, listening to Taylor Swift and going to concerts! 

What is your greatest passion?
My greatest passion is to make a difference in people's lives and to fight to make sure everyone I encounter feels included, safe and heard.
