I suppose this might be a good place to ask:

Are there good beginner resources on working with kicad out there? I haven't really found much but maybe I'm just failing at my search terms because I'm not as familiar with the field as I should be.

Esp. really beginner "baby's first circuit board design" and also "making minor modifications to someone else's board".

I've found Chris Gammell's (Contextual Electronics) KiCad tutorials to be very practical and informative.

yeah this was great starter material thanks :)
