Kyla Hypes

For as long as I can remember, I have felt a deep fascination with and natural connection to the animal kingdom.

Animals have always played a central role in my life, inspiring a sense of empathy and curiosity that has only grown stronger over time. This lifelong passion isn't just a hobby—it's the driving force behind my dream to dedicate my career to their care and protection. My lifelong affinity for animals has consistently shaped my personal and academic interests.

This enduring connection is the reason I am committed to pursuing a career in veterinary medicine, wildlife conservation, and animal rehabilitation. I want to leverage my passion and dedication to make a tangible, positive impact on animal health and well-being every day

Food Service Worker at Bryan's Lemonade Stand (2024-06 – Present)

In my current job position I efficiently manage multi-task operations—including cashier duties, beverage preparation, and customer service—with strong stamina and enthusiasm in a high-energy, high heat setting. Running a lemonade stand might sound simple, but it actually gave me my first real taste of hands-on responsibility. It taught me how to communicate clearly with all kinds of customers, manage inventory and money, and solve problems on the fly when things didn't go as planned.

More than anything, it gave me a strong work ethic and taught me what it takes to run something smoothly from start to finish. I'm excited to bring that reliability, practical experience, and positive attitude to future roles.
