Interview with Kayla

Tell us about yourself

I am a wife and mother. I have a 15 year old daughter and a 9 year old son. We have a total of eleven pets. I am originally from Pierre, SD. I have a Bachelor Degree in Early Childhood Education and an Associate Degree in Occupational Therapy Assistant.

Why did you become a COTA?

I became a COTA because I wanted a change from teaching and I like to create things.

Why do you think your coworkers nominated you for being Imaginative?

I have been told that things I do are creative, but honestly I probably wasn’t the first to think of it. I usually do different ideas found on Pinterest or an Occupational Therapy Facebook group.

What do you love most about working with TEAM 4 Kids?

I like TEAM 4 Kids for the collaboration with the other disciplines.

If you had one wish, what would it be?

If I had one wish, it would be to own a castle and host events there.
