Born in Austin, Texas on September 28, 2000, Kaitlyn Krafka who now is in love with the city life once roamed the farm land! Growing up Kaitlyn loved to ride horses and look over the farm with her family. Kaitlyn has one older brother, who plays basketball at St. Edward’s and then she has one younger sister who is still in high school. Kaitlyn also has two younger step brothers, one who is in 2nd grade and the other who is still in high school. Kaitlyn grew up just outside of Austin in the area of Kyle. She then moved to Dallas for around 5 years of her life before then moving back to her hometown of Austin, Texas. She attended Jack C. Hays for all four years of high school. Kaitlyn was a great student through her four years and ended with a gpa of 4.2. She played volleyball and earned many different accolades for her hard work. I know that from hearing from her father, Patrick Krafka, that she “was always on top of her work, whether that was for volleyball, school, or even her two jobs she had.” Kaitlyn worked at the local dog shop, Shaggy Dog. She also is the head coach of a volleyball team. With her volleyball team she has to travel to tournaments, go to practices, and plan everything that goes along with this. Kaitlyn knows that when she gets older she might want to be a coach, so this experience she is gaining will be beneficial for her in the long run. Kaitlyn is studying kinesiology along with business, she has mentioned many things about her future profession including that she “is interested in the business side of sports and how the sports world can be intertwined within the business world.” Kaitlyn has a strong drive to make sure that she is always on top of her work and always in a great standing with her education and sports. There is no doubt that she will succeed whenever she is ready to take her next step with her professional career.
