Kayla Overton

I am a Business Administration student at the University of Arkansas Grantham with a strong interest in entrepreneurship, leadership, technology, and small-business development. I am currently pursuing my associate degree and plan to continue my education while building toward business ownership and long-term financial independence.

My educational journey has taught me the value of discipline, adaptability, and persistence. As a student living with a disability, I have had to learn how to work with my physical limitations without allowing them to define what I believe is possible for my future. Despite those challenges, I have maintained a 4.0 GPA and was recognized on the University of Arkansas Grantham Honors List.

I am especially interested in applying what I learn in school to entrepreneurship and rebuilding an appliance repair business. I also enjoy writing, spoken word, technology, artificial intelligence, crocheting, and finding creative ways to turn ideas into real opportunities.

My goal is not simply to earn a degree. I want to use my education to build a stable, meaningful future, create successful businesses, and continue becoming a stronger leader, entrepreneur, and lifelong learner.
