Getting to know Kayla...

My favorite part about competing for Brandeis is touching elbows with all the UAA micro-celebrities
My favorite athletic moment at Brandeis has been pranking WPI's track team by stealing their hurdle then wrapping it up in tinfoil and wrapping paper and leaving it as a present during our New England track meet.
My favorite high school athletic moment was winning the 800m in the spring track conference meet in my senior year of high school.l
My favorite class at Brandeis is Npsy 11b with Don Katz because the material was so interesting, and Professor Katz is such an entertaining and funny lecturer. Also, shoes are optional.
My favorite place to travel to is Australia.
Outside of my sport, my favorite thing to do is Winning Intramural Basketball.
My dream job is a taste tester because I love to try new foods and judge
If I could compete on any reality TV show, it would be Too Hot to Handle because I think I could probably just lay low
