Meet Kya

Student-Athlete. Storyteller. Leader.

Born and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana, I’m a student-athlete at the University of Arizona, where I compete in the high jump and study Journalism.

It Started With A Love For Competition.

What started as a love for competition has grown into a passion for pursuing excellence, challenging myself, and using the opportunities athletics has given me to make an impact beyond the track.

But there’s more to me than jumping.

My family, my faith, and my relationships with people are at the heart of who I am.

Grounded In What Matters.

My faith is a foundation in my life and influences how I approach competition, challenges, relationships, and every opportunity that comes my way.

I believe success isn’t just about how high you can jump or what you can accomplish.

It’s about who you become along the way, who you bring with you, and how you use the platform you’ve been given.

The Bar Is Always Moving.

I’m excited to keep chasing big goals, embracing new opportunities, and inspiring others to believe that they can rise higher too.

The bar is always moving. And so am I.
