Junior Coach
Layla Kaim
Layla's training began at the early age of 4. During her rhythmic gymnastics career, she competed nationally and received many awards. Her training also included artistic gymnastics, dance and ballet. She has a special appreciation for proper training methodology and she endeavors to teach new gymnasts safe technique so that they learn this wonderful sport without risk of injury.
Layla exemplifies the ultimate achievement for a student-athlete: successfully translating the discipline of competitive gymnastics into an Ivy League education at Harvard University. Through her continued leadership within the PNW Empower program, she serves as a dedicated mentor for the next generation of college-bound gymnasts. Drawing directly from her own journey to Harvard, Layla equips these young athletes with the strategic insights, support, and confidence they need to navigate the demanding transition from the competition floor to higher education.
Junior Coach
Sunny Cai
Sunny started her rhythmic gymnastics journey here in Seattle. She had many successes in her competitive career but she decided to step down early to pursue her academic endeavors. However, her passion for the sport continues as she coaches young girls to fall in love with rhythmic gymnastics and to always strive for excellence.
Sunny brings a deep commitment to student-athlete mentorship to her role within the PNW Empower program. Having begun the next chapter of her life at UCLA in 2026 to study computational biology, she remains an active and vital part of the PNW family. Drawing on her own journey, Sunny provides invaluable guidance and support to current gymnasts as they navigate their own transitions from competitive athletics into the next exciting phases of their lives.
