About Me
Kayla is from West Richland in beautiful Washington State. She attended college at Rice University and headed to the east coast for her medical degree at the Dartmouth Geisel School of Medicine. Her medical interests include primary care, preventive medicine, behavioral health, and women’s reproductive health. Her research interests include screening and interventions for the social determinants of health in primary care, and how primary care can best partner with and support vulnerable populations. Kayla loves a variety of outdoor activities (downhill and cross-country skiing, mountain biking, and trail running, to name a few) and spending time with her fiancé and cat. She is thrilled to relocate to Utah and join the University of Utah community for family medicine and the Utah StARR research program. Kayla chose the University of Utah because of the opportunities for community engagement, strong outpatient and inpatient training, focus on wellness, vibrant culture, easy access to the outdoors, and the chance to pursue training in primary care research.
