Kayla Bettachini, Pace University

Kayla joined the Student Engagement team in November 2018. Originally from Jessup, PA, she attended the University of Scranton where she received a Bachelor of Arts in Communication. After working as a cast member in the Disney College Program, she completed her graduate studies at Canisius College, earning a Master of Science in College Student Personnel Administration. She is also a member of the National Orientation Directors Association (NODA).

Kayla lived and worked in Buffalo, NY, during and after graduate school, but does not miss all that lake effect snow. Outside of work, Kayla enjoys all things Disney, going to concerts, listening to music, dancing, traveling, and spending time with her friends and family.
