Hi! My name is Kayla and I am a student with a background in Psychology and Youth/Community Studies at Suffolk University, driven by my aspirations as a first generation student. My educational experiences through Suffolk University include academic achievement and leadership involvement such as being a member of Suffolk University’s Honors Program, Dean’s List, Historian of Eta Theta Chapter of Tri-Alpha Honors Society, and other campus programs. I have work experience in promoting social-emotional learning and providing a nurturing educational environment for young children ages 3-16. As a team leader with Americorps’ Jumpstart program, I have experience serving children ages 3-5. I also have experience as an associate teacher working with Pre-K and Kindergarten students.I also work as a group leader, now unit leader at the Granite YMCA which has given me experience with ages 5-16. I am open to networking and collaboration opportunities within the industries of Psychology and Education. Let's connect!
