Welcome to Myla’s Magical Journey
Camilla, born and raised in Sweden by Polish immigrants, embarked on an adventure to NYC in early 1998, driven by her curiosity and love for exploration. With a passion for travel and fluency in multiple languages, she naturally found her first career in the hospitality industry. She has an undergraduate degree in Psychology and is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Leadership. As the founder and President of Myla’s Beleaf, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in honor of her late daughter, Myla Carrera, the charity provides financial assistance to families impacted by childhood cancer. She has also built a successful real estate career in two states and has now shifted her focus to writing and teaching. However, her greatest pride and motivation come from her three daughters and supportive husband, whom she credits for her drive and accomplishments.
