Student Spotlight

Kailyn Ferguson

Hello! My name is Kailyn Ferguson! I am originally from Castle Rock, Colorado and am a Colorado Native. I graduated from Douglas County High School and am currently a second-year student here at CU Denver. I am a public health major looking to go into Physical Therapy. I am also working towards a minor in psychology. I have wanted to pursue a career in Physical Therapy since I was about eight years old, and I am so excited to be accomplishing that goal here at CU Denver. When I am not in class, I am at one of my two jobs. I work as a Sales Associate at Orangetheory Fitness as well as working at Lululemon. Over the last two years I have taken an interest in weightlifting. During my free time, you can always find me in the gym. I love to get outdoors and spend time in the mountains. A fun fact about me is that I have a one-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer puppy named Macie. Thank you for reading and I hope to see you all around campus! GO Lynx!
