Kayla Turner

Bowie State '26

Kayla Turner is an alumna of Bowie State University and the former President and Campus Correspondent of Her Campus at Bowie State University. During her time as a student leader, she successfully led the relaunch of the chapter after a period of inactivity, rebuilding it into a thriving platform dedicated to amplifying student voices, fostering creativity, and empowering women on campus. Through her leadership, she oversaw editorial content, event programming, recruitment initiatives, and digital engagement strategies while cultivating a strong sense of community among members.

A graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Child & Adolescent Studies, Kayla is passionate about supporting children, families, and communities through education and leadership. Throughout her collegiate career, she held several leadership positions, including serving as an Office Assistant in the Department of Language, Literature & Cultural Studies, Communications Director for a campus organization, and "Miss." of another student organization. These experiences strengthened her skills in communication, program coordination, mentorship, and community engagement.

Kayla's professional aspirations include becoming a childcare director and eventually opening her own daycare center, where she hopes to create nurturing environments that support the growth and development of young children. She remains committed to lifelong learning, service, and empowering others through leadership and advocacy.

Outside of her professional pursuits, Kayla enjoys journaling in pink ink, collecting perfumes and plushies, reading fantasy and urban fiction novels, and indulging in her favorite Starbucks order—a Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino with no whipped cream and extra crunch. A lover of all things feminine, creative, and faith-centered, she believes that with purpose, perseverance, and a touch of sparkle, anything is possible.
