Kaela is incredibly honored to have been able to work in the summer professionally. She worked at Tecumseh! (Chillicothe, OH) as an actor as well as the wig designer. Without the love and support from her family, faculty, and peers, she would not be where she is today. Thank you to UWF and the graduating class of 2020! I love you all so much! Make a Splash!
