Her first love was #ballet. Now at 31, Elice Kitchen-McKinley is pursuing a #bioprocessing degree at #NCStateCALS. She says it took a lot of self-reflection to make sure she was ready, and ultimately, she came to the realization that she didn’t feel challenged enough; she didn’t feel that she was growing as a #dancer and #artist as much as she had the #potential to, and she desired the pursuit of more #knowledge.
