She grew up in Southern California, attending Arcadia High School, where she got her first taste of the acting bug, playing dramatic roles such as Adrian in Rocky to the comedic Chef in Woody Allen's Don't Drink the Water.

Elected as Chair of the UCI Arts Board, she curated the university's school-wide community and student arts program, discovering local artists from Southern California. Additionally, she founded, executive-produced, and co-hosted a radio talk show for Asian Americans, called "Bridges", which coincided with her production and co-hosting of a radio show for women called, "Womyn's Voices." With her excellent grades and work in entertainment, Kailin received a scholarship to study at USC's Masters program in the Management of Communications at the Annenberg School of Communications, a program known to produce many executives and producers in the entertainment field. After only two semesters, Kailin graduated at the top of her class.
