Her responsibilities with Murray State women’s basketball include player development on and off the court, supporting recruiting efforts, scouting and game planning as well as basketball operations duties. Kayla’s responsibilities with Murray State women’s basketball include cutting and organizing MSU and opponent video, and helping oversee updating and creation of in-house graphics for basketball facilities.

Prior to Central Arkansas, Mitchell was a starting point guard for the Lamar Cardinals. She was known for her boundless energy and defensive IQ.
