Name: Kayla Ward

What was your first job? Laying sod and cleaning bathrooms for a family business

How do you help others succeed? Challenging their thoughts and encouraging them

What is your biggest accomplishment? My first thought is opening my own business and it being here almost 7 years later but truly I think waking up everyday and being a kind person is a bigger deal. 

Is your desk/office messy or organized? I would say it's an organized mess. I know where things are but someone else might have trouble finding things.

Last book read?  Hannah's Dream

What do you do for fun?  Watch college hockey, sing in a choir, snuggle my furry family members, theatre, and spend time at the farm with my alpacas

Do you have any silly fears? Anything in bodies of water that don't naturally belong there, specifically buoys  

What did you want to be when you were a kid? I wanted to be a veterinarian. I love animals and want to save them all. I think I was in junior high when I realized I would have to put animals down and that was a deal breaker for me. 

If you opened a business, what type of business would it be? I already have a few but if I could open another I would definitely choose a coffee shop. It was one of my all time favorite jobs.

What would other FEW members be surprised to learn about you? I played hockey until I graduated high school.
