With a familial background in real estate, Kayla hopes to work as an independent planning consultant while operating a non-profit focused on educating children about sustainability and gardening. In her free time, Kayla loves to hike and camp with her husband and their two German shepherds. An avid nature lover, Kayla finds serenity in the woods and enjoys fossicking for minerals to add to her collection. A random fact about Kayla is that she built a tiny home and lived in it for 3 years while in undergrad at Berea College, where she launched as a University Innovation Fellow in Spring 2018.
