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, you can find her singing as the lead vocalist in a local band, exploring the great outdoors (and indoors, usually with a classic show, a nostalgic movie, or a great book), spending time on the beach, and deepening her Christian faith. She has been a vegetarian for over a decade, loves animals, dabbles in dog walking, and enjoys drinking coffee (and anything caffeinated, really).
