Kaylee is a high school junior at Blue Mountain Union; she is new to the BNN staff this year. She enjoys drawing and all things art. She is one to appreciate a good sarcastic comment and some snark. Kaylee’s favorite things in this world are her cat, Mr.Honee, and sweets. What Kaylee might lack in passion, she makes up for in photography experience and artistic eye. In her free time she enjoys listening to music and sleeping.
