Hey there!

I'm Dr. Kayla Ritter Rickels (she/her). I'm an educator, leader, activist, world traveler, and life-long learner. I am deeply committed to playing my part in creating a more equitable world and centering the voices and experiences of the marginalized and minoritized in that work. I'm an activator of access and a champion of equity.

My strengths are community activation, relationship development and management, facilitation, and strategic planning, and I'm known as a leader that can cast a vision to create innovative and collaborative data-informed solutions. Through my formal education, I honed and strengthened my skills as a strategic storyteller and practitioner of data-into-action. My lived experience has taught me how to use my talents and privilege to enact change in community with those impacted.
