What do you get when you mix a test tube, a horse and a jewelry business?
You get Kathryn Baugh and The Klassy Arrow.
Baugh, a 23-year-old Alva native, is a fourth-year Northwestern senior double-majoring in chemistry and biology with a pre-med option.
She will have a fifth year to finish out her second degree.
Baugh said a big goal in her life is to help people, and taking the pre-med route seemed like the way to do it, she said.
She is also employed by NWOSU as a teaching assistant and a learning assistant in addition to running the chemistry lab.
Baugh is interning at the Iofina Resources IO2 Plant to further her knowledge and skills in the science industry, she said.
Baugh is not all business, and she said she chooses to find thrills and fun through competing in rodeos as a barrel racer. She is a member of the NWOSU rodeo team. The coronavirus and rodeo helped Baugh create one of her greatest passions: The Klassy Arrow.
The idea for The Klassy Arrow came to Baugh mid-quarantine because she needed a way to cure her boredom, she said. Baugh said stress and staying busy keeps her wide awake, so The Klassy Arrow was a perfect addition to her life. Plans for expanding The Klassy Arrow include building a fully-functioning online boutique to sell affordable western jewelry, clothing and other accessories to women.
“I love The Klassy Arrow because it helped me take my business side and my creative side and put them together,” Baugh said. “People don’t get to see a lot of me because I am on a pre-med route, so they just see my scientific side.”
