Kayla was born and raised on Vancouver Island and has always had an interest in mental health and supporting the well-being of others. Kayla obtained a certificate as a Community Mental Health worker after high school, but a career in a different industry presented itself, and she went in a different direction.

Kayla couldn’t ignore the pull she felt to pursue work in the healthcare field however and after 5 years of working in a trade, she decided to take the plunge and pursue a job as a Community Support Worker here at Cedars. She feels fortunate to be part of a team that helps people find hope, support, and the tools they need to move forward and navigate their recovery journeys. Outside of work, Kayla enjoys working on projects with her partner and raising their daughter, quality time with her family is what she values most.
