Kayla is thrilled to return to Areté! Raised in Ventura County, Kayla earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Music at California Lutheran University, then went on to earn her Master’s Degree in Vocal Arts at California State University, Northridge. While studying, Kayla performed as a soloist with the California Lutheran University Choir at Carnegie Hall; traveled to Austria to study and perform with world-renowned instructors as part of AIMS in Graz; and served her local community as Miss Ventura County 2012!

Kayla then set sail on the high seas as a performer for Silversea Cruises. Part of a cast of six voices, Kayla performed in a series of classical, pop, Motown, and musical theatre concerts aboard the Silver Wind, stationed in the Mediterranean Sea.

Kayla currently resides in Thousand Oaks, where she teaches private voice lessons and continues to perform regularly. She also serves as a music specialist for Los Cerritos Middle School, and as a vocal consultant for Young Artists Ensemble. Kayla’s next dream is to lend her voice to a Disney project!
