A native of West Texas, Kendra attended J.M. Hanks High School in El Paso before heading east to the University of Texas in Austin, where she earned a degree in Corporate Communications, minoring in Sports Advertising. While competing for the Longhorns, Kendra was a 12-time All American running the 400m, 4x4m really and the 800m and a 4-time Big XII Champion running the 600 yards and 4x400m relay. She made the switch to the 800 in the middle her collegiate career, stating, "Not many people have the confidence or trust in their training to do that. I think this makes me different because I am taking a risk everyday in attempting to become one of the best 800 meter runners in the USA." Excited about her future in the event, Kendra hopes to inspire all female athletes to pursue a collegiate career and a professional career in sports. Kendra made the 2015 World Championship Team in the relay pool for the Team USA 4x400 meter relay. She also placed 9th overall in the women's 800 meters at the 2016 Olympic Trials and has run a PR of 2:00.76.

Putting her degree and experience on the track to good use, she currently works part-time in the sports and media field and has her sights set on becoming a sports anchor or an athletic director one day. A strong believer in having faith in God's plans, Kendra owes all the glory to God. Her infectious positivity and spark are evident in many avenues, but Kendra has a magnetism to the dance floor, where she can typically be found when the music starts playing.
