In addition to owning her own business Rain or Shine Consulting, she works at the University of WA (UW) Center for Child and Family Well-Being as a facilitator of mindfulness, the UW CoLab on projects focused on behavioral health & the UW Institute for Human Development and Disability with Washington State Medical Home Partnerships Project. Shayla also has strong partnerships with several local community and national organizations supporting Family Engagement. She enjoys reading, eating delicious vegetarian cuisine and antique shopping.
