Karla Silva works as an administrative assistant at Avenues Recovery Center at Fort Collins. Born in El Paso, Texas, but raised in the Denver Metro area since age two, she brings a strong sense of community and versatility to her role as Administrative Assistant. A graduate of Wheat Ridge High School, Karla was recognized for her leadership early on—serving as a softball pitcher for four years and being selected for a statewide leadership summit during her senior year.
Karla’s passion for behavioral health is rooted in a desire to combat societal stigma and support meaningful change. With hands-on experience as an intake coordinator, unit secretary, behavioral health tech (BHT), and administrative assistant, she approaches her work with insight, empathy, and a broad perspective. Her administrative strengths help create a smooth, supportive environment for both clients and staff.
Outside of work, Karla is a creative entrepreneur. She owns a successful Etsy business where she designs and sells wire-wrapped jewelry, and she also enjoys crocheting one-of-a-kind items. You’ll often find her participating in vendor markets around the Denver area or enjoying a good board game in her downtime!
