Throughout these experiences, Kayla honed her skills in marketing, communications, event planning, and fundraising, all while nurturing her passion for fostering connections and promoting the common good. Driven by her desire to make a tangible difference in her community, Kayla embarked on a career dedicated to philanthropy and development.
