She is excited about the future of MBSE and what it means for system design and requirements traceability throughout a product’s lifecycle. For 6 months during a 787 rate increase, Kayley did a rotation as a 787 Midbody Mechanic for the Aft Lower Join to get hands-on build experience on the manufacturing floor.

She is passionate about education and promoting STEAM disciplines to students of all ages, and enjoys volunteering with the DreamLearners and Speakers Bureau program, speaking at schools across the state of SC. As a graduate of Boeing\'s Leadership NeXt (LX) program and a previous REACH Chairman, she is a demonstrated leader both in her community and the aerospace industry. In her free time, you will find her enjoying college football (GO TIGERS!), traveling, scuba diving, water skiing, snow skiing, surfing, dancing, and spending time with family and friends.
