Kayla brings a diverse professional background and a genuine passion for helping others to her role as a legal assistant. She spent approximately five years working in banking, where she especially enjoyed building relationships with customers and getting to know them on a personal level. When the COVID-19 pandemic led to the closure of her branch, Kayla transitioned into a new professional chapter with the Tuscola County Clerk’s Office. There, she gained valuable experience processing and filing court paperwork, assisting with both Circuit Court and Probate Court matters. She particularly enjoyed the legal and procedural aspects of the work and developed a strong interest in the court system. As a deputy clerk, Kayla had the opportunity to sit in on numerous court hearings, taking notes and assisting with the necessary documentation for both courts. This experience further strengthened her interest in the legal field and ultimately led her to pursue her career as a legal assistant. Kayla also spent several years as a stay-at-home mom while her children were young, an experience she deeply valued and considers an important part of her life.

Outside of work, Kayla is a proud mom to two daughters, ages 19 and 16. She enjoys spending quality time with her daughters and her boyfriend, and she especially loves being near the water. Family and meaningful relationships are very important to her, and she enjoys making memories with the people she loves. In her free time, Kayla also enjoys collecting flamingo-themed items, which has become one of her favorite hobbies.
