Other Activities:
When looking to continue her basketball career, Kendey was drawn to Northwest’s family atmosphere and the proximity to her hometown.
Following in both her parents’ footsteps, she chose to focus on becoming an educator, and her time at Northwest provided the opportunity to prepare for real-life situations in a classroom. She was able to craft her teaching style based on the variety of methods she observed in practicum classes and while student teaching at Northwest Technical School in Maryville.
The ability to manage time effectively as a student-athlete and the positive, welcoming interactions with coaches, faculty and staff allowed Kendey to be career ready, day one.
