Kylie Collins, Walk With You Founder

Women & Work: Stepping into Kingdom Productivity

Kylie was born and raised in the Midwest and currently resides in central Iowa with her husband of 9 years, Aaron, and their 6-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son. She holds a Bachelor of Science Nursing degree from the University of Iowa and began her nursing career in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, caring for its most vulnerable and critically ill babies.

In the fall of 2022, she founded Walk With You and now works full-time, walking with families in their deepest and most desperate moments of grief - leading up to, during, and following the loss of their beloved child.

Kylie is passionate about weaving together grief and the Gospel, being an advocate for women to fulfill their God-given callings, be that at home or in the workforce or some combination of the two, and working in secular spaces to see the Good News of Jesus Christ brought to everyone, everywhere.
