Kyleigh! When talking to her, you can't help but notice her down to earthness, her sweetness, and her authentic concern for those in the world less fortunate than her. She founded the non-profit Roots for Peace Penny Campaign in 2003 which has since helped build 6 schools and provide first time access to high school for over 600 young women in Afghanistan.

With a college degree from the University of California, Berkeley in Peace and Conflict Studies and recent shoots in the July issue of Italian Vogue and Abercrombie both photographed by the legendary Bruce Weber, she is sure to continue her philanthropic contributions to better the world.
