The Girl That Could: Kennedy Dendy

Texas born and raised Kennedy Dendy knew from high school what she wanted to be.

It was around the time that students had to decide on majors and colleges. “Something I knew was that I always loved to write,” exclaimed Dendy. After she toured Baylor University multiple times and sat in various journalism sessions, fate occurred at that moment. “I met a Baylor University alumna that forwarded an email and introduced me to an opportunity to audition for Baylor television.”

Dreams aren’t always specific, and sometimes in life, one must broaden their horizons in order to grow. Dendy was introduced to an area of journalism she wasn’t familiar with; broadcast journalism. “I was determined and eager to try something new.” One thing led to the next and before she knew it, she was crowned the first freshman to land a sports reporter position. The opportunity helped Dendy to realize that her passion was journalism, and this was something she wanted to do.
