"I had the opportunity to work closely with Keyla through our collaboration with Connecting Pieces, a U.S.-based nonprofit supporting individuals and families affected by gastrointestinal disorders, ostomies, and related health challenges.

Keyla is a compassionate and highly effective leader who combines lived-experience awareness with strong operational clarity. She approaches community support with empathy, structure, and intention, ensuring that programs are both meaningful and well-executed. Throughout our work together, she was collaborative, open to feedback, and deeply committed to serving the community with dignity and care.

I confidently recommend Keyla and Connecting Pieces to foundations, donors, and partners seeking a mission-driven organization led by a thoughtful, credible, and community-centered leader."
