Pronouns: she/her
I am a sophomore, and this is my second year on staff. I joined the Pathfinder because I needed an outlet to share my voice and opinions pertaining to ongoing issues in our community. I strive to persevere and voice my opinions in everything I do. I spend most of my time reading a good book, participating on the varsity cheerleading team and enjoying the outdoors. I hope to do my part to bring to light current and ongoing issues, as well as ways to solve them.

This tournament was strictly invite-only and Kylie excelled, achieving 37th in her age group, her dad right by her side. “This was one of the last times my dad was able to caddie for me before he was unable to do so due to his ALS,” Kylie said. “I loved him caddying for me. He always knew what to say [to me] when I got upset and he was able to see me grow throughout my golf career.”](https://PWestPathfinder.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/secrestfin.jpg)
