Kayla is a cancer survivor. At age 16 she was diagnosed with skin cancer. Now at 18, she has not only beaten the disease, she is also an advocate for teen cancer prevention. Kayla plans to use her new Miss Florida Teen USA title to inform other young people about the dangers of excessive tanning and unprotected sun exposure.
Winning the Miss Florida Teen USA title is just one of many achievements in Kayla's life. After overcoming skin cancer, Kayla has dedicated herself to educating other teens about prevention and early detection of skin cancer. At the time of her diagnosis, Kayla was shock that she would have to deal this disease at her age. Her message to other teens -- you are never too young to worry about protecting yourself from skin cancer. She is now a dedicated volunteer for the American Cancer Society.
In addition to her duties as Miss Florida Teen USA 2009, Kayla is a student at Stetson University. She hopes to purse a career in publishing.
