About
Kaley is a social activist who believes you are never too young to change the world. She is best known for founding Students Hearts for Haiti, a nonprofit organization created after the devastating earthquake in 2010. The organization motivated students around the country to raise over $100,000 which was donated to the Canadian based nonprofit, Free the Children. The four classroom school was opened on the year anniversary of the disaster in Dos Palais, Haiti.
More recently, Kaley has spent her time as the worship leader for IU Campus Crusade and the Campus Captain for RECESS, a music and ideas festival that inspired the next generation of world changing entrepreneurs.
She has been featured in publications including CNN, Chicago Tribune, and the LaGrange Doings.
Kaley has experience in leadership, managerial skills, strategizing, financial management, fundraising, and public speaking.
