Our Board of Directors

Taylor Hui

Founder, Vice President

Philanthropist, positive body image advocate, model and actress, Taylor Hui founded the BeaYOUtiful Foundation at the age of 17. After being a victim of cyber bullying and having multiple friends suffer with eating disorders, she knew a platform was needed to inspire young girls to learn the importance of self-love. Today, the Foundation is Taylor’s greatest passion.

While completing her Communications Major at Simon Fraser University, Taylor was empowered to continue her social entrepreneurship journey. In 2017 she founded The Roster Clothing Co., a fashion brand that helps raise funds for BeaYOUtiful. Taylor hopes her two businesses will continue to positively impact the next generation of female leaders.

Kate Stafford

President

She has always had a passion for helping others, and it was through the BeaYOUtiful Foundation, Kate was able to support young women in their journey of developing self-love. Through years working in the modelling industry she saw the pressures that are put on young women.

Now, working as a Registered Dietitian (t) at BC Children’s Hospital, Kate understands the importance of building a healthy relationship with food and your body, and is able to help guide people through this process. Taking on a director role within the BeaYOUtiful Foundation, she was able to weave her experience in leadership and community with her passion for helping others live up to their fullest potential.

Iryna Kayda

Secretary

As someone who loves learning new things and is passionate about connecting with others, Iryna became involved with BeaYOUtiful early on because she believes in the importance of creating safe spaces and empowering young girls to see the beauty, strength, and leadership within themselves. She loves to see the girls collaborate and inspire one another to be their most confident, authentic selves as they take part in BeaYOUtiful’s programs with their dedicated mentors.

She holds a Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of British Columbia, and is currently pursuing her Master of Science in Experimental Medicine with hopes of improving medical care, wellbeing, and health outcomes for children and their families both locally and globally.
