Kyla Aubertin is new to Her Camus this year; upon entering this new arena, she is excited to explore her passions through writing.
Kyla is also a first-year student at NC State. Throughout high school, she developed a love for activism, sustainability, and the arts. She served on the Loudoun County Equity and Inclusivities board for two years and founded her school's first Black Student Union.
