Kaya started working as a child actor when she was 8 and has been working on stage and in front of the camera ever since. Her father, who got his acting diploma in Hamburg, Germany, trained her and recommended not to pause her thriving career for acting school, so she got different training with inspiring acting teachers of different acting methods in workshops and different ongoing classes. She is still working with her acting teachers Eric and Susana Morris from Los Angeles on a weekly basis.
