Kailene Talbot is a junior at Brigham Young University in the American Studies program, with a minor in Contemporary Dance. The third of six children, Kailene has had a lifelong desire to serve those around her in any capacity she can—a passion which led her to serve as a missionary in Louisville, Kentucky. Kailene is also deeply interested in the constitutional principles that guide American government, and hopes to use the skills from a BYU education to work with individuals and institutions to uplift those around her for the rest of her life. Outside the classroom, she performs with BYU’s Contemporary Dance Theatre and helps train new senior missionaries at the Missionary Training Center.
