Jayda's parents enrolled her into gymnastics when she was eight years old because she needed a safe place to burn off energy. She fell in love with gymnastics and has been at World Class Gymnastics in Newport News, VA her whole gymnastics career. As a level 7 gymnast in 2015, Jayda earned a bronze medal with a 9.800 at the State Championships. She moved up to level 8 for the 2016 season, finishing fifth in the all-around and fourth on floor exercise at the State Championships. In 2017, Jayda finished sixth in the all-around and fifth on balance beam at the Level 8 State Championships and second on floor exercise at the Region 7 Championships. She also placed fourth on floor exercise at the 2018 Level 8 State Championships, qualifying to Regionals. During Jayda's final year as a level 8 gymnast in 2019, she placed second in the all-around and first on floor exercise at the State Championships. At the Region 7 Championships, she placed eighth in the all-around and third on floor exercise.

Jayda moved up to level 9 for the 2020 season. She qualified to the State Championships but was unable to compete due to COVID-19 pandemic. She had a fantastic level 9 season in 2021!
