She was previously selected to engage in the Rural Medical & Science Scholars program, which focuses on education regarding public health and safety. She is a former student advisory member supporting public education and outreach initiatives with the Atlanta-area Eating Disorders Information Network (EDIN).  During that time, she learned how to notice the signs and symptoms of emerging eating concerns while also increasing confidence necessary to engage in conversations with peers, teachers, and other school-community members about eating disorders in order to encourage body confidence. Kendall has been an athlete across multiple individual and team sports, to include soccer, basketball, tennis, swim team, and lacrosse. In addition to sports, Kendall has years of experience as a child performer in the arts to include competitive/performance choirs, piano, on-screen acting, ensemble cast member for stage plays, and modeling.  Being a member of sports, performance and entertainment culture for so long has encouraged her passion to assist athletes and other performers as she has first-person experience with the associated pressures inherent in performance.
