Raised on a horse farm in Croghan, Kaylee sees the roots of economy in agriculture. Her first-hand experience in agriculture has founded her path towards economic development; she wants to see Lewis County's legacy industries thrive in today's digital world.

This desire led Kaylee to obtain her MBA from The College of Saint Rose. Through her experience outside of Lewis County, Kaylee was able to appreciate the local-centric culture of her home, while exposing her to the potential of scaling-up, innovating, and growing. 

Aside from growing our community, horseback riding is another passion of Kaylee's! Kaylee has been showing her horses competitively since elementary school, has been involved with an IEA team, and traveled to breed shows across the Northeast. Additionally, Kaylee serves on the Board of Directors for Lewis County Emerging Professionals. Kaylee currently resides in Croghan with her fiance, Aiden, and three pets.
