Kayla
Animal Care Technician
Kayla has lived in Florida her entire life and is an Orlando native. She has an associate degree from Seminole State College in Lake Mary, and she hopes to pursue a business management degree at UCF. She loves working in the veterinary field because she gets to work with animals.
She is a triplet, so she has a brother and sister who are her age, as well as a sister who is nine years older. Her pets include Oliver, a loving and chatty tabby, and four gerbils, Sugar, Pichu, Stewart and Chipmunk. She enjoys spending her free time with friends, or shopping, eating or just watching Netflix at home with her cat. She also loves to go thrifting, fishing, biking or anything outdoors.
