Kaylyn Freitas

Kaylyn was born and raised on her parents’ ranch in Gilroy, CA. Her parents ran a horse boarding facility, and the ranch also had goats, chickens, dogs, and a cat. Kaylyn started riding Western at an early age, around 6 years old, and spent every chance she had riding her horses: Jake, Katie and Katana.

From a young age, Kaylyn knew that she wanted to work in veterinary medicine, and it became the only career she saw herself in. She earned an A.A. in Natural Sciences from Gavilan Community College, then transferred to Fresno State University where she added a B.S. in Animal Science — with Pre-Veterinary Emphasis. After graduating college and working in the veterinary industry, Kaylyn discovered that she loved the nursing side of veterinary medicine more than the doctor route and decided to pursue a career as an RVT. She is now enrolled in a program to qualify to take the VTNE to become a licensed RVT.

Kaylyn currently has 2 dogs: Dakota, a Golden Retriever/German Shepherd and Jax, a Labrador Retriever. In her free time, she enjoys being outdoors, spending time with friends and family, and advocating for the importance of agriculture, all while running a small jewelry business!

In 2024, Kaylyn was crowned as the first Miss Agriculture America Santa Clara County, which has given her a platform to advocate for the agriculture industry and to educate the community on our important agriculture history.
