The Admissions Department and the Pace Program welcome new Pace Enrollment Coordinator Kayleigh Smith to Central Baptist College. As an alum of the school (’16), Kayleigh is excited to enter the role and help adult and online learners earn their college degrees. Kayleigh earned her BA in English from CBC, and she played on the Women’s Soccer team. She earned her M.Ed. from William Woods University in Fulton, Mo. Kayleigh is married to Ryan Smith (’16 alum), and they have a son, Kelley James. She is a member of Antioch Baptist Church in Conway. Before beginning as the new Pace enrollment coordinator at CBC, Kayleigh’s love for sports, specifically soccer, led her to become a high school soccer coach, where she led teams to the state playoffs multiple times. While coaching, she held a sports information director (SID) and admissions role at Episcopal Collegiate School, then continued to work in the SID role while teaching business classes at Beebe High School. Kayleigh also has a background in corporate marketing and is eager to apply those skills, as well as her expertise in education, to her new role at CBC.
