Kiley Byers is a rising sophomore at James Madison University majoring in Media Arts and Design (SMAD) with a concentration in Digital Video and Cinema and minoring in Entrepreneurship. Growing up in Leesburg, Virginia, Kiley has always wanted to travel abroad, and the Urbino program gave her that opportunity while also combining it with her love of film. Although new to the SMAD program, Kiley has taken all the chances she can get to further her knowledge and gain hands-on experience. Kiley was the photographer for the Arts and Entertainment group, capturing the images of local artists in the Urbino and Le Marche area. This was her first time traveling abroad, and her favorite part was immersing herself in a new culture and work flow. This program encouraged her excitement to travel and create films of her own.
