Kayleigh McEnany (born April 18, 1978) is a conservative CNN pundit, commentator,[1][2] and writer.[1]
Education
McEnany was educated at the Academy of the Holy Names,[3] a private Catholic college preparatory school for girls (co-educational up to eighth grade), in the city of Tampa in western Florida, followed by Georgetown University School of Foreign Service with a Bachelor of Science in Foreign Service (BSFS) in International Politics, in Washington, D.C.[4] She also spent a year studying at St Edmund Hall, a constituent college of the University of Oxford,[5] in Oxford, England. McEnany studied at the University of Miami School of Law and then transferred to Harvard Law School where she received her JD degree in May 2016.[6]
Career
After graduating from Georgetown University, McEnany worked as a producer for Mike Huckabee's TV show.[7] She has interned for several politicians including Tom Gallagher, Adam Putnam, and George W. Bush, for both his 2004 campaign and in the White House Office of Communications in the Media Affairs department.[7]
Personal life
McEnany carries the BRCA1 gene and underwent a double mastectomy in 2011.[8] In 2016, conservative radio host Dana Loesch caused a small controversy by mocking McEnany's appearance, including her breast size, not knowing about her mastectomy.[9]
