Hi, I’m Kayla! I‘m an Atlanta-based Fractional HR Consultant and career development coach. At the start of 2026, I left my job as a corporate HR Business Partner and took the plunge into HR Consulting. My approach to HR is personal—something that I would probably be advised not to share in my professional summary, but I want my clients to understand the level of care that goes into my work.

My Novel Mind

I speak openly about my experience as an Autistic and ADHD(AuDHD) individual in Corporate America. There are many more people with disabilities out there who don’t share their diagnoses openly out of fear that they will be seen as “less.” My work is centered on authenticity, advocacy, and the belief that every individual’s unique mind belongs in the professional world. I will continue using my voice to change the narrative around neurodiversity until, “They’re successful but different” becomes, “They’re successful and different.”

My Voice

Speaking of design choices that I would probably be advised against, you’ll notice throughout all of my content and materials that I rarely use the “royal plural.” In other words, you won’t see me address myself using pronouns like “we” or “us.” While it’s used to sound professional, it feels impersonal. You won’t converse with an ambiguous “we.” You won’t be tossed around from specialist to specialist like you will at larger firms. When you reach out, you’re talking to me. When you partner with me, your money goes directly to supporting my two kids, my husband, and me. In return, you receive my skills, my precision, and my novel mind.
