ABOUT THE AUTHOR

About The Author

Hi there! My name is Kayla Elke and I am a Grand Forks county native. I was born and raised in Gilby, about 30 minutes northwest of Grand Forks. As luck would have it, we moved back to Gilby in 2014, when I started working as a Physical Therapist for Altru’s Regional Therapy department.  I enjoy spending time with my family, all things crafty, and the great outdoors. In my spare time I am also very active in the Gilby community, spending time as a volunteer barista, charcuterie maker, and murder mystery party host. I love the Grand Forks area and surrounding communities – there is truly so much to explore and enjoy! I can’t wait to share some of the hidden gems of Grand Forks with you.
