Kylie Comi was born in Rochester, New York and then moved to Texas where he attended middle school and high school. After graduating high school, Kyle wound up at Centenary College in Shreveport, Louisiana, where he became the only male on the Conglomerate Executive Committee. The Conglomerate, spearheaded by Callie Fedd and Remi Miller, had just been reinvented as an online publication. Kyle assumed a position as the Section Head of Sports, and as the “resident male,”  he brought with him a calming and laid back energy to the all-female Executive Committee in 2022. Since then, Kyle has continued to bring serenity with an inviting sense of humor, while shedding light on each of the sports teams at Centenary through articles and podcasts, as well as covering exciting moments in sports history, like Serena Williams’ retirement announcement and the 2023 Super Bowl. He also played a significant role in producing sports interview content for the burgeoning Multimedia section of the Conglomerate by sitting to unpack Centenary’s own student athletes’ journeys through gymnastics, baseball, basketball, etc. and where they thought the sports teams were headed in the future. 

This May, Kyle graduated with a degree in Communications, so the Conglomerate sat down with him to reflect on his time as a Section Head and discuss what is to come.
