Kayla grew up in foster care from age 8 to 18, facing multiple placements and separation from her siblings. Despite these challenges, she is ambitious, disciplined, and self-driven, earning her real estate and dental assistant licenses, buying her first car, and completing a college internship while working full-time. She enjoys music, traveling, and exploring new foods. Her long-term goals are to become a dentist and start a nonprofit providing affordable dental care, including braces, for foster youth.
