"For everything there is a season, for everything there is a time."

Kayla here!  Thanks for stopping by!  I was born and raised in small town rural Nebraska.  I’ve seen several cows and quite a bit of corn during my lifetime.  I attended college at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln, where I graduated in May of 2015.  I double majored in Theatre Performance and Dance, specializing in acting and modern dance, as well as all things movement related, including a love for stage combat.  I also have a passion for singing and constantly serenade my shower head, friends, and anyone who will listen.  

I’ve choreographed for both theatre and dance shows, and it’s something I would like to pursue more. I also have experience in the costume realm as a stitcher and wardrobe crew aficionado (Lookingglass Theatre Company & Tecumseh).

Since graduating, I’ve been all over the country, and even spent a seven month stint in Costa Rica working for a non-profit organization (FIMRC) and teaching theatre classes. I completed an 11-month professional Acting Apprenticeship at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati in July 2019, and stayed working in the community for 3 years after.

I made the move to the beautiful city of Chicago in the fall of 2021. In pursuit of my movement passions, I completed my 200hr yoga teaching certification in the Spring of 2022 and my 300hr certification in the Fall of 2024. I teach heated vinyasa, yoga sculpt, and strength classes every week— I love it dearly!

I’ve been lucky enough to perform in two theater productions with Babes With Blades Theatre Company (Richard III & The S Paradox) and I can’t wait to see what else will blow in for me in the windy city. Stay tuned for more!
