When Kayla joined Deep Well’s Circles program, she was working as a part-time restaurant server. She knew she wanted to do something different but wasn’t sure what would best fit her interests and options. She couldn’t rely on friends or family to provide her with advice or career guidance—she needed to expand her networks. During her time in Circles, Kayla worked with a caring volunteer to explore her passions and how they could fit into a meaningful career. Since then she has pursued a career in Early Childhood Education. She is now enrolled at Technical College of the Lowcountry to earn her degree, while also working full-time at a local preschool. Today she is financially independent and thriving in her new career, that is greatly needed in our community.
