Who are ya?!?! Kaitlyn "Hogie" Hogue

As an ESU Warrior, sophomore, Kaitlyn Hogue has big dreams and big goals for her four years on campus as a student athlete. She studies exercise science and strives to be a cardiac rehabilitationist when she completes her degree. Another life goal of hers is to be part of a flash mob!

Kaitlyn is taking anatomy, chemistry, and exercise physiology this fall. "For the most part I learn about the body and the processes of how bones grow and their functions. I enjoy lab the most because it's challenging and gives me hands on experience that you do not get in every day lecture." Kaitlyn not only has big dreams, but also has a big heart when playing on the field. Standing tall at 5'1", she is fearless in challenging the competition and herself in the classroom.
