Kayla grew up surrounded by animals, riding horses and working at local barns in the countryside of Northern Virginia. While attending UNCW, she filled her spare time fostering puppies (a sneaky way of getting her dog fix while living pet-free).
After gaining hands-on experience with a renowned training company, Kayla found her true calling: helping dogs and their owners achieve harmony. Her bubbly, outgoing energy brings an approachable, fun dynamic to the Golden Compass team.
