This is Kayla Pyburn, our Marketing Director and Director of Nationals! Kayla grew up in Stephenville, TX, and went on to attend Texas A&M University where she studied Sport Management and Business. She was a Nationals Intern in the Summer of 2018 and has been with PrimeTime ever since.
I manage the National Basketball Championship tournament and that always brings me joy. It’s so amazing having the opportunity to see the hard work and dedication of our coaches, players, and their families come to fruition at one single event in July. The passion that is displayed on and off the hardwood during this time is so special to see!
I am responsible for managing our internship program, which holds special significance for me as I began my own journey here as a college intern before being hired full-time. It’s incredibly rewarding to witness the full life cycle of our interns—seeing them transition from recent college graduates to dedicated interns, and ultimately to valued colleagues. This experience is one of the most fulfilling aspects of my role.
I love exploring! Whether it’s exploring a new state or country, or seeing what new restaurant has popped up in Dallas. Any other downtime is spent with friends and family!
