She currently serves as the President of Elon Law’s Innocence Project, is a teaching assistant to one of her law professors, and is also a Guardian ad Litem here in Guilford County. Following graduation in December 2022, Kailyn intends to remain in the area and continue serving the people of Guilford County and the surrounding counties.
