On Saturday morning, May 14, 2016 she put pen to the line, joining the Eagle family.

Carson-Newman University is a member of the National Association of Schools of Music. Kaylee will be pursuing a professional Bachelor of Music Degree from the University.

Kesterson has become a familiar face, sharing her talent and performing at many local events. Kaylee is the daughter of Todd and Kim Kesterson of Dandridge.
