Kayla's journey is one woven with faith, travel, and a deep commitment to igniting the spiritual flame in others. As a former Catholic Youth minister with over a decade years of ministry experience, Kayla has discovered her passion for organizing religious retreats and pilgrimages.
In her upbringing in Keller, Texas, Kayla experienced frequent travel, thanks to her mother's career as a flight attendant. Her journey continued at the University of Oklahoma, where a life-changing semester in Italy sparked her enthusiasm for exploring diverse cultures and deepening her Catholic roots. During her summers, she dedicated herself to serving as a camp counselor at The Pines Catholic Camp, where she fostered connections and nurtured the faith in young campers' hearts.
After earning a degree in Communication and a minor in international area studies, she transitioned into event coordinating before answering the call to be a High School Youth Minister for six impactful years. In this role, Kayla thrived in nurturing the spiritual growth of hundreds of students weekly, utilizing her gifts as a Catholic speaker and worship leader. Her zeal for planning led to the organization of numerous pilgrimages, out-of-state trips, and transformative retreats, each fostering deeper connections to the faith for those involved.
Today, alongside her husband, Kayla travels the United States, seeking new adventures and opportunities to spread the faith. Whether through her graphic designs, her passion for singing, or heartfelt connections with people worldwide, she strives to bring joy and hope to all those she encounters.
