She completed her undergraduate work at Alverno College in Milwaukee, Wis., and her graduate work at St. Cloud State University in St. Cloud, Minn. During her time at St. Cloud State University, Kira studied abroad in South Africa. Kira is a first-generation college graduate, which plays a role in why she chose to work in student affairs.

Kira also has worked as an advocate for a women’s and family homeless shelter and as a Behavioral Therapist for children with autism.

Outside of work, Kira enjoys traveling; the arts; and spending time with her family, friends, and dog. She also enjoys crafting, reading, and board games. Kira’s favorite spot on campus is her backyard because it has such a great view of the lake and watching the sunrise over the lake is beautiful.
