Meet Kaleigh Hanley. She will be joining us this upcoming Fall and we are so excited to have her!
"Hi! I'm Kaleigh Hanley and I'm an 18 year old from Royal Palm Beach, FL. I am majoring in Long Term Care Administration. I decided to attend USF's class of 2022 based on the location, the major and the graduation rate. I'm super excited to start at USF this fall - to finally be on my own and to meet new people interested in the same things I am! I have been working in a senior living home for two and a half years now, and it has helped shape me into the person I am today. Helping people, especially the senior population, is my passion and I wouldn't want to pursue any other career at any other school."
