Birthday: December 25, 2004
  
2025: Kavanaugh's rotation alongside Galvanoni was fruitful for the Vanguard system. The setter had 584 assists to rank 6th in the conference, while also setting personal-bests in digs (204), aces (28), and kills (22). Kavanaugh appeared in 97 sets across the 26 matches, and even picked up her first block-assist at Azusa Pacific, jumping with Morgan Cole at the net in the first set of the fixture on October 3. The Wrightwood-product finished strong, as three of her final four games saw her record 30+ assists, including a career-high 32 at Biola on October 8. Kavanaugh also had seven "Assist-Dig" Double-Doubles. Kavanaugh's career-high in service aces is now four (September 6 vs Texas Woman's).

2024: Kavanaugh saw limited action this year and appeared in four sets, picking up nine assists, including a season-high six in a sweep of Westcliff. Kavanaugh also chipped in the first two service aces of her career, with the first one coming in that home victory over Westcliff. 

2023: Kavanaugh had a taste of collegiate action across nine matches in her first season at VU, debuting against Simpson on the road.  She got six assists against the Red Hawks and the next day against Corban, with her best outing being against Doane, when she pocketed eight helpers.  She had three digs against the Tigers and against Friends the next day.

High School: Was an All-Conference First Team selection her junior and senior year at Serrano HS.
