    About Layla

    Layla is from Pensacola. She came to UWF fueled by her passion for helping students reach their life goals through higher education. Layla loves to read, hike, and visit national and state parks around the country.

    What's the best part of your job?

    The best part about my job is meeting individuals and learning about their goals and aspirations.

    What's the best thing about UWF?

    The best thing about UWF is that every student stands out regardless of what program, sport, or activity they’re involved in.

    What's your favorite spot on campus?

    My favorite spot at UWF is the nature trail. There’s something peaceful about being in nature, and spotting [the alligator] Captain Thunder or an armadillo is a bonus.

    What makes Pensacola special?

    Pensacola is a big city with a small-town feel. People are so hospitable, and there are so many things that go on throughout the week.

    What can students expect at UWF?

    Students can expect to get a quality education, have fun, and be a part of a thriving community!

    What are the top questions you get asked about UWF?

    The top question that I get about UWF is: How do we prepare students for their careers after graduation? UWF provides students with the opportunity to experience learning outside of the classroom through high-impact practices such as undergraduate research, service learning, and internships that boost employability by building workforce-ready skills.
