Artist, IT-Software Developer, and future food truck owner – our May fresh face is definitely someone with enough talent and ambition to conquer the Chippewa Valley. Let’s give a warm and fuzzy welcome to Kayla Flanders!

Kayla started in the IT-software developer program in January and has been soaring ever since. Student by day, artist by night, Kayla wanted to get a degree in a field that utilizes logic, and critical thinking. She said she chose the IT field both for its critical thinking component, as well as its job security. Kayla said that IT is “booming” and knows it is something people use often and continue to invest in. It also allows her a certain level of flexibility when job hunting, as most companies require IT.

When it came to choosing CVTC, Kayla took some advice from a friend that recently graduated from CVTC and now works at JAMF. While she didn’t know a lot about the programs CVTC offered prior to applying, her friend reassured her that the IT program would be a versatile and relevant field to get a degree. Needless to say, she took the suggestion!

Kayla is no stranger to time management, as she is used to juggling her studies with owning an art studio in Banbury place and spending time at home with her wife. Kayla is a glass artist and has been a business owner for quite some time. She said waiting to enroll in school was essential to her, as she wanted to be confident she was making the right choice. Now that she’s taking classes, Kayla said she likes the variety of being IT by day and artist by night. 

As for future aspirations, Kayla wants to get her associate degree, continue to grow her business, and (wait for it…) own a food truck! Bet you didn’t see that one coming, did you?! Kayla’s creative mind never stops working, as she has a future food truck in the works. While she may not have the truck yet, Kayla knows it will be a coffee and pastry food truck...so yes, we will be in attendance.
