I've worked with Kayla closely over 3 years on multiple projects at Coinbase. Kayla is full of knowledge on systems, complicated processes and policies. She's the brightest SME on the onboarding team that the entire company goes to Kayla for questions. During our time at Coinbase, the company experienced hyper growth and Kayla's team was responsible to handle a 10x workload which she successfully handled as a team lead and always delivered within the deadline. Kayla is extremely dedicated, hardworking, knowledgeable and always willing to help others. Kayla is one of the few star employees at Coinbase. She's a natural leader with a positive attitude, who will get the job done! Thank you for everything you do Kayla!
