Faces of the Fleet: The Fighter: Kaylah Gillums

Raised in a military family, Kaylah Gillums knew she wanted a life as meaningful as the ones her parents led. She chose to attend the United States Naval Academy, where she could pursue her academic goals all with the chance to serve her country upon graduation. Her father instilled in her a love of boxing that she carried to college-all the way to the Academy’s Annual Brigade Boxing Championships. There, she dug deep and found the strength it took to step into the ring and put her determination to the test.
