Get To Know Kayla

One of the hobbies I have is backpacking and hiking. I love being outdoors and have gone on many hikes with my family through the years!  

social

I also grew up riding horses. My family has always owned horses and I continue to enjoy riding my horse, Hope (she’s the brown and white pain horse)  

social

Traveling is also a huge hobby! I even have one of the scratch off maps for all the countries I visit 😅

social

The last is my family. They are a huge part of my life and my support system. They’ve been incredible about traveling across the world to see me play and now they get to see me at home 🏡
