Featured Participant: Carol Layland

Featured Participant: Carol Layland

Carol Layland is a regular visitor of the Las Vegas Senior Center (LVSC).  The 72 year-old was a teacher for over 30 years, both in California and Nevada.  She appreciates the opportunity she has had to learn about computers and the internet during the past two years at LVSC and now spends much of her lab time helping her peers navigate the internet. Her teacher instinct is still alive and well!
Layland, who is wheelchair bound, is very active in the community and also enjoys LVSC, because it is a place to socialize with other senior citizens who have common interests.  She is an avid collector of all things sci fi and has even started a business called Carol Layland's Crafts, which centers on her passion for arts and crafts. A creative and artistic soul, Layland also utilizes her computer skills to design personalized cards for every occasion.
