Experience

Kayla Hui is a health and wellness writer with a master's degree in public health. In 2020, she won a Pulitzer Center Fellowship to report on the mental health of Chinese immigrant truck drivers in New York. Prior to joining Dotdash Meredith in October 2021, Kayla freelanced for a myriad of digital publications, writing about health, beauty, travel, and food. During her free time, Kayla enjoys rock climbing, reading, and buying plants she doesn't need.

 Favorite Purchase

My favorite fitness purchase was the 4Gear ankle straps. I use these for donkey kicks and side lunges on the cable machine. They're packed in a travel case, which fits easily in my bag or backpack.

Education

Kayla received her Master's Degree in Public Health from the Boston University School of Public Health and BA in Gender and Women Studies and Global Health from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
