Kayla was born and raised in Central Florida and is a proud first-generation college graduate. She earned her Associate of Science degree in Occupational Therapy Assisting from Keiser University in 2018, completing her clinical training in geriatric settings. Despite this early experience, Kayla has always had a strong passion for working in pediatrics, where she could play a meaningful role in helping children grow into the most independent versions of themselves.
In 2020, she began her professional career at a pediatric outpatient clinic and has since gained experience in various settings, including private schools and home health environments. Kayla has worked with children diagnosed with a wide range of conditions, including cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), Batten disease, Down syndrome, and ADHD.
Committed to continuous growth, Kayla plans to further her education by pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Health Science, followed by a Master’s in Occupational Therapy. Her goal is to expand her knowledge and skills as a provider to better support the developmental and functional independence of the children she serves.
