Kayla played four years of collegiate volleyball at the Division 1 and NAIA levels starting at Fairfield University, CT and then transferring to Carroll College, MT.  In addition to coaching at Central Catholic, Kayla has coached at the 16’s and most recently 14’s level for Rose City Volleyball Club.
