Operations Associate

Kayla Kim joined Klesis Advisors as Operations Associate following her graduation from UC San Diego, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Communication and Media Studies. In her role, she supports the day-to-day operations of the firm and contributes to the client experience that is central to everything Klesis does.

At UC San Diego, Kayla served as a Peer Ambassador with the Student Center for Involvement, facilitating more than 100 dialogues on equity, diversity, and inclusion for thousands of members of the university community.
