​

As an instructor for The University of Tampa's First-Year Seminar course Kylie created a curriculum focused on building resilience and mental wellness in students after seeing a need to advance the emotional intelligence of college students - particularly those transitioning from high school. Kylie utilizes a robust curriculum derived from constructivism and cognitive learning theories so her students are able to incorporate their knowledge and skills inside and outside the classroom.
