When I'm not at the Horizon office, I can be found spending time with my family and friends on outdoor adventures, snuggling with my dogs Ophelia (a chihuahua) and Ace (a rottweiler/bullmastiff mix) (quite different dogs, I know), taking horseback riding lessons, practicing music, and working out.

Hello, my name is Markayla! If my name is too confusing, Kayla works as well!

I am all ears if you want to talk about anything music related!
My job, here, at Horizon, is to sort and upload paperwork—so you'll probably see me around the office. When I am not at the office, I work as a stagehand, helping musicians set up and sound awesome during concerts. I also enjoy nature with my two dogs, Cookie and Lulu. Feel free to say "hi" anytime!
