Prior to working in public relations, Kyla was a communications associate at Counterpart International, an international development organization in Washington, DC. Her role included writing and editing collateral materials for donors, developing a media toolkit for field staff, and collecting beneficiary stories in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Senegal.
