Kayla Hendrix is a junior at Indiana State University in Terre Haute, Indiana. She studies Dietetics and plans to work as a dietitian in foodservice management, possibly at the naval base in Crane, Indiana, where her mother Melinda works. Kayla is a fourth-generation member of a local philanthropic sorority, and has helped out with several food-oriented fundraisers. She is also active in her church; and feels that being involved with these organizations has encouraged her to seek a career locally. “It’s up to me to try my best at everything I do so that my hometown can be proud of me!” she says. Kayla is very interested in the Kennedy family history, and loves watching sitcoms from the ‘60s and ‘70s.
