💙💛 We are proud to spotlight Jillian Byrne, Kellenberg Class of 2023, who continues to make her mark at the collegiate level at The University of Alabama!
Jillian served during the 114th Administrative Term of the Student Government Association, taking on an impressive leadership role on the Vice President of External Affairs Cabinet as Chief of Staff. In this position, she had the opportunity to help execute initiatives that made a meaningful and lasting impact on campus, demonstrating both dedication and leadership beyond the classroom.
Her work reflects the very best of what it means to be a Kellenberg alumna bringing the values, work ethic, and spirit of KMHS to a broader stage.
We are proud to see Jillian thriving, leading, and contributing in such a significant way during her college experience.
