Layla Karnes
I was born in California in 2005 to British-American parents. I spent many holidays with my grandparents in Bedfordshire roaming their farm.
I started figure skating at the age of 3 and transitioned to ice dance when I was 8. When I was 11, I watched my first Deaf dancer perform and was left speechless - inspired to better understand the Deaf culture and language.
I studied American Sign Language through High School and completed two years at university. I first represented Great Britain in 2023 and started learning British Sign Language to better connect and advocate for British Deaf skaters.
I have volunteered with Deaf youth interests in sports and hope to work with Deaf athletes at a national and international level.
