Get acquainted with the social media sensation you should be following
Brilliant shoot Kayla can you tell us a bit about it?
Thank you!! These photos were taken in Los Angeles. The weather here is always amazing, so I try to do most of my shoots outdoors with natural lighting.
Give us a little more background about yourself and your life story so far
I was born and raised in Gainesville, Florida. I attended college at Marshall University, where I received a full-ride athletic scholarship to play volleyball. I got my bachelors degree in Broadcast Journalism. After college I started pursuing social media. I signed with a social media agency in Los Angeles, and moved there last year!
When do you feel sexy and why?
There are so many different things I could say, but I think feeling sexy is a state of mind. It’s all about feeling confident about yourself and being happy with who you are!
What is your best asset?
My willpower. When I set my mind to something, I put my all into it. And physically, really like my smile!
What would people be most surprised to know about you?
Some people might be surprised to know that I grew up on a farm and I’m also a country girl at heart. I also love diving with sharks in my free time. I’ve always been obsessed with sharks and ocean conservation!
Describe yourself in five words
Trustworthy, loyal, fun, adventurous and (very) sarcastic.
Ideal date
Probably a sunset walk on the beach and some yummy food after. Or just take me to Dunkin’ Donuts.
What do you think men should know about women
It’s the little things that matter to us.
What have you learned about men over the years
I think it’s smart to go for older men because women mature a bit faster than men do. Haha.
What do you look for in a man
Confidence, loyalty, sense of humour, kindness and intelligence.
What can we get you at the bar?
A Tequila Soda with two slices of lime.
Who is your girl crush?
Probably Emily Ratajkowski. She’s obviously beautiful but she’s also intelligent and not afraid to speak her mind.
What is your motto in life
Invest in experiences over material things.
Where would you like to be in five years?
A huge goal of mine is to buy my first house, preferably near a beach, with lots and lots of animals. But overall I just want to be happy, healthy, and still travelling and doing all the things I love.
