Meet Our Executive Board!
Kayla Nakashima
President
Hello and welcome! I’m Kayla (she/her/hers) and I am in my 4th year at UCI studying Biological sciences. I’m from La Mirada, a city near Knott's Berry Farm, surprisingly I haven’t been to Knott's in a LONG time. I have been the president of Anteaters for Autism since my 3rd year and on the board since my 2nd year. Needless to say, I absolutely love this club and the members in it. I encourage you to join our family by attending meetings and getting to know us. We are all very different and have a variety of reasons that brought us together. What brought me to this club was my brother, Sean. He is 27 years old and has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder since he was 3. I have a great passion for standing up for him and thus why I lead a club strived to spread not only awareness but also acceptance of ASD. I often share stories and triumphs with the group and find support in doing so. I am excited to get to know you and I wish you all the best!
