Biography

Hi! I’m Layla Worthington, and I’m so excited to be part of the Ascent Academy team. I was born and raised in Utah but have spent time in Nebraska, Florida, and Washington while pursuing my education and training in psychology and behavior. I’ve worked with students with a wide range of needs and am especially passionate about supporting emotional regulation, communication, and confidence in the classroom.

I also played college softball and bring that same energy, patience, and team mentality into my classroom every day. I have a soft spot for dogs (especially mine!) and love staying active, traveling, and enjoying spontaneous weekend adventures.

I’m so grateful to be here and can’t wait to support and grow alongside the amazing students and families at Ascent!
