Miss California USA: Official Website / Celebrating the Beauty of California

Kylee is a 16 year-old sophomore at St. Ignatius College Preparatory who believes that “to make a difference, you need to be involved…” and that she is! She not only spends time each week cooking in her city’s soup kitchen, she is a Senior Girl Scout working on her Gold Award (the highest award in Girl Scouts), runs on her school’s track team, and participates in her school’s radio station.

Because her academics always come first, she has been honored with membership into Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY.) CTY seeks students of the highest academic ability and provides challenging educational opportunities. Through this, she has been able to travel to the Yucatan Peninsula where she was able to study the Mayan Civilization “up close and personal.”

Kylee considers dance to be her passion. She has danced since she was four years old and is accomplished in tap, jazz, and hip-hop. Always up for a new challenge, she has recently begun ballroom dancing. Kylee loves to be active and is truly an outdoor enthusiast. In her free time, she loves to hike, mountain bike, and run in the hills around her home. She also enjoys snow-skiing, water-skiing, and skim-boarding. In sunshine, rain, wind, or snow, you’ll find her enjoying the great outdoors!

Her career goal is to become an orthodontist. “My friends don’t see it in my future, but it’s something I’ve dreamed of since I was in the third grade and got my first set of braces.”

She takes pride in being a Native Californian and is honored and excited to be re presenting her state in the MISS TEEN USA pageant this August..
