She attended Mississippi College, where she graduated magna cum laude in 2014 with a Bachelor of Science degree in political science.  She then obtained her law degree from Mississippi College School of Law in 2017, again graduating magna cum laude.  While in law school, Caylan competed with the law school’s nationally-ranked Moot Court program, and was inducted into the National Order of Barristers.
