Who is Kaylie, outside of work?

A fitness lover!

Growing up, I played sports my entire life (mainly soccer & lacrosse). I’m continued my love for staying active with group fitness classes. I recently accepted a job as a cycle instructor & I am in the midst of completing my 200 hour Yoga Teacher & Leadership Training

A reader!

I’ve always loved to read but I never found myself to be consistent at it. Last year I set a goal to read 12 books. I wrapped up 2023 having read 100 books!

Check out my Goodreads for recommendations :)

A traveler!

I seemed to dream of traveling the world since I was a kid but started making it happen while in college. Last year I even embarked on my first solo international travel. I purchased a one way ticket (two days in advance) and explored Europe for a month. Australia & New Zealand are my favorite places I’ve visited
