Kylee Kendall is a communication specialist for Beacon Health System in South Bend, Indiana. She joins Jimmy to catch up after being a communication major with him at the University of Indianapolis. She recalls her experience as Editor-in-Chief of The Reflector, UIndy's campus newspaper, and the stressful process of putting a full issue together.

Originally from Elkhart, Indiana, Kylee recently moved back to her hometown for a position with Beacon Health System. Beacon Health System oversaw the care of Kylee's sister, Sarah, after she was diagnosed with cancer. This shocking news came during Kylee's freshman year at UIndy, with her sister passing away after a hard-fought five-month battle on December 7, 2013. Kylee also reflects on interning at Riley Children's Hospital, documenting patient stories like Sarah’s in her experience. Kylee enjoys helping others with her communication skillset in medicine now, knowing Sarah would be proud of the work she is doing to pay it forward.
Finally, Kylee & Jimmy look back on their "Friends" themed capstone Senior Project collaboration that was required for graduation. An easy conversation with one of the most kind & joyful souls I know.
