During her time as a graduate student at the UW School of Social Work, Kayla served as a Student Ambassador in the SSW Admissions office. After graduating in 2016, Kayla spent time managing recruitment and admissions efforts for a then, newly formed MSW Program at a local private institution. After leaving higher education, Kayla would have short stints in government agencies, non-profits and even tech, before finding her way back to where it all began, the UW School of Social Work.
