My name is Hailey Winslow and I am from Springfield, Illinois. Currently, I am a junior at Southeast Missouri State University studying both biochemistry and business administration. Outside of class, I hold two director positions in Alpha Phi and I am involved in DECA, which is a business organization. I love to volunteer in my free time, attend student ministry, and I also work as a waitress at Cracker Barrel.


At the end of high school, Kyle set his sights on college. Instead of accepting his admittance to University of Illinois-Champaign, he chose to accept a full-tuition scholarship to Lincoln Land Community College, with plans to transfer to a four-year university after two years. During his sophomore year, Kyle gained admittance to Northwestern University, where he majored in neuroscience while also taking all the required courses for medical school. At Northwestern, he met Dr. Edward Hughes, both a physician and a professor of “Leadership,” whose mentorship played a central role in the development of Kyle’s aspiration to become a physician-leader.
Since college graduation, Kyle has worked in multiple healthcare settings, including solo dermatology practice, ocular tissue recovery, and Mohs micrographic surgery.
Kyle knew he wanted to go to medical school as a teenager. This year, he will fulfill that dream by enrolling at Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. He envisions himself practicing dermatology, and more specifically, Mohs micrographic surgery.
