Kayla Paxson
Parent Partner
Bio
As a mom of 4 kiddos myself, I truly enjoy getting the opportunity to expand, grow and share skills with some of the parents in our WNY community. I’ve worked in the human services field for many years primarily working with disadvantaged youth as well as helping young moms that came from a hard past, get on their feet for a better and more successful future. I am very passionate about helping others through empathy, kindness, and compassion. Anyone is capable of change and growth when given the right support and opportunities.
Favorite Children’s Book
The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister and
Yes Day! by Tom Lichtenheld
Most meaningful part of working for EPIC
Being able to empower parents to help their children grow, thrive, and reach their own individual potential as parents. Parenting is never easy without help sometimes and it’s nice to be a support to parents in our community when needed.
