This month’s Park Profile highlights Kayla Thomas, our Human Resources Assistant!

Tell us a little about yourself:
I married my best friend right after our high school graduation, and now I am a hockey/baseball mom of two amazing boys!

When did you join the team here at Arbutus?
I started my job here at Arbutus in May of 2025.

What is your favorite thing about APRC?
The residents of course! I love when they pop in the HR office for a visit!

What goals do you have for your role?
I am always striving for constant growth - I want to learn as much as I can and continue to improve upon my skills.

When you are not at work, what do you like to do?
I am very into fitness and weight-lifting. But if I am taking a day off from the gym, I am usually curled up somewhere with a good book.

If you were to win the lottery, what would be your first purchase?
I would probably buy a new car.

If you had to live in a different state, which would it be and why?
Florida! My husband and I traveled there for the first time and I fell in love with it there!

What is your favorite film? Why?
Any of the Harry Potter movies. I have read the books more times than I can count. I consider myself a huge nerd when it comes to that series!

You are up next for karaoke - what song are you singing?
I will sing just about anything....as long as it is not country.

What is the best piece of advice you have ever been given?
That everything happens for a reason!

What is something that very few people know about you?
I am completely new to HR. All of my previous training and employment has been on the clinical side of the operation, so this role was a new experience for me when I started!

Thanks for being a part of the APRC team, Kayla! We are happy to have you!
