Our Team

Lyla Kiel joined the team in 2020 as a volunteer, and quickly worked her way into the role of Advocacy & Outreach Coordinator at the Move For Jenn Foundation.  Her passion to help others in the sarcoma community stems from the untimely death of her mother from osteosarcoma in 2018.  She wants to do whatever she can to help others battling sarcoma and personally understands the effects that fighting this battle has on, not only the individual, but family and friends too. 

Lyla graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2019 with a bachelor's degree in Sociology and a minor in Educational Psychology.  In her free time she enjoys going on walks, spending time with her family and friends, reading self-help books, and having the occasional 60 second living room dance party.
