Kyla Sanders/New Salem
Say hello to Kyla Sanders, RN, program coordinator for NDSU Aging in Community!
Kyla grew up in eastern Montana and now calls New Salem, ND, home, where she and her husband, Josh, are busy raising their five kids.
Three years ago, Kyla saw firsthand how life-changing assistive technology can be for her clients. Inspired by the positive impact on their quality of life and independence, she became a proud ND Assistive Ambassador!
Kyla’s role as an ambassador comes with a special perk: access to a trunk full of adaptive equipment that she can loan out to her rural clients.
