JCOM 2010 Media Smarts


I am a Junior majoring in Public Relations, minoring in Political Science. My email is kayla.barclay@aggiemail.usu.edu. I am apprehensive to put my phone number online so I will send that to you in an email.

I am a 5' 8 blond and more likely than not I am smiling. In 2008 I was crowned Miss Utah and in 2009 was in the Miss America Reality TV show as well as competed in Miss America in Las Vegas. I won one of four non-finalist talent awards for my piano performance and my roommate, Kate Stam, Miss Indiana, was crowned Miss America. Hobbies of mine would include piano, dance (I love to dance more than playing the piano) singing and guitar. I also help in various ways with pageants around Utah. I am currently starting my own business in public speaking and am in the works of setting up a website kaylaspeaks.com. As Miss Utah I traveled the state speaking about Internet and cell phone safety as well as being a motivational speaker. I plan to continue those public speaking efforts.

I am from Manti, UT.

My main form of entertainment, sadly to say, would probably be the radio. I am often traveling for speaking engagements, helping with pageants, or visiting family, so I always have the radio on and either listen to NPR or music. My main form of news would be on the Internet, Drudge report is my favorite, and I also like Politico's playbook.
