Kaitlyn, who attends the Eastern Long Island Academy of Applied Technology, where she is a student in the animal science program, was honored at a virtual award ceremony for her first-place win in the Medical Math contest, where she was challenged to demonstrate her knowledge of general math concepts used in the healthcare fields.
