Hi! My name is Kayleigh. I am 20 years old and I am from Rochester, NY. I was adopted from China when I was a baby, so I am an only child aside from my dog, Hailey. My passion for entertainment and technical production began in high school, when I joined my school’s technical theater crew during my local district’s summer arts program at the tail end of the COVID-19 pandemic. I graduated high school in 2024 and am currently a junior attending Ithaca College studying Television, Photography and Digital Media; I also have two minors in Audio Production for Television and Film and Live Event Design and Management.
As my major implies, I am part of many student television shows and films. Last summer, I even had the chance to work as a Production Assistant (PA) on a local feature film. Since Ithaca College has a satellite campus in London, it was an easy choice to study abroad here. I was fortunate enough to be chosen as a recipient for the Benjamin A. Gilman International Scholarship Program, which ultimately led me to Reach the World, where I get to share my journey with you all! I cannot wait to start!
