For the few months that I've worked at The Tech Academy Kyla has been one of the most standout students that I've seen. As an intelligent, resourceful, and detail-oriented student she has always shown that she seeks to go above-and-beyond in everything that she pursues. Kyla is also one of the only students that I've seen regularly go to networking events, and with her outgoing and friendly demeanor on top of her work ethic I know that she will continue to expand her network and thus greatly increase her chances of being successful in whatever career path she chooses. She asks great questions, knows when to ask for help, and has shown me that she will be a valuable asset to any company

As an intern for my organization, Kyla was a great team player who stood out for her unique ability to combine skills in technology, business, and marketing with the creativity of a trained artist. I especially appreciated her willingness to engage in continuous learning on the job. Kyla went beyond the tasks in our usual job description, teaching herself the software skills to tackle new projects like designing graphics for our "Companies to Watch" lists. Kyla is a versatile technologist and a pleasure to work with - any employer would be lucky to have her.
