Hi, my name is Kayla Smith. I live in a small town near Clemson, S.C. I am blessed to have three siblings (two brothers and a sister) and two wonderful parents. Both my mom and sister play an important part in my life -- I would be lost without them! I also have a Miniature Schnauzer, Maddux, who is extremely wild and spoiled!

I enjoy many things in my spare time. When I'm not working or going to school, I love to spend time with my family and friends, learn about new technologies and software, shop for bargains, sleep, watch movies (particularly love stories), and experiment with various craft ideas.

I graduated from Clemson University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education. I am a candidate in the Master's of Education Program for Educational Technology. This is my fifth class and I hope to finish this degree by August 2013.

I aspire to one day obtain a teaching position and have a classroom of my very own. I have been searching for my 'dream job' for nearly three years and I know it will happen when the time is right. For the past year, I have worked for the YMCA as the Director of an After-School Program where I mentored and assisted approximately 35-40 children in grades kindergarten through fifth with homework, educational activities, and enrichment opportunities. This summer, I will continue to work for the YMCA as a Summer Camp Counselor. I know that the next month will be busy with work and school, but I am anxious to see what the future may hold.
