Kailey Coleman
Returning for her second season at CNCC is Kailey Coleman. A native of North Berwick, Kailey is starting her career as a Golf Professional, but she is certainly not new to the golf business. Kailey got her start in golf learning from her grandfather, a teaching professional.

Boatwright Internship with the United States Golf Association and later working as an intern for the New Hampshire Golf Association. The last three years, she has spent working at The Club at Mediterra in Naples, Florida, but is excited to be returning home to her native Maine.
