Kayla Ivan

Originally from New Jersey, Kayla moved to South Carolina, from Rhode Island, in search of warmer weather and new adventures in the south. She earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Creative Writing with minors in Professional & Public Writing and Psychology at Roger Williams University, graduating Summa Cum Laude a semester early in December 2021. Her love for writing, creativity, learning, and a passion for helping others continues as our Associate Writer/Editor. Her previous experiences in writing newsletters, blog content, news articles, and working on other creative projects equipped her with valuable skills to prepare her to do great work here at Laudisi.

When she isn't writing or editing at work, she loves to write poems, listen to all kinds of music, sing, explore the great outdoors (and indoors, usually with a classic show, a nostalgic movie, or a great book), spend time on the beach, and deepen her Christian faith. She has been a vegetarian for over eight years, loves animals, dabbles in dog walking, enjoys coffee (and anything caffeinated, really), and is excited to continue exploring the area to discover what South Carolina has in store for her.
