Hey there, I’m Kira! I come from Northern California, the land of redwood trees and hippies, and live with my sister and two moms in a house that looks out at the gorgeous hills. While I love home endlessly, I’m excited to be living in a different part of the country for four years. This year, I’m a happy resident of Johnson House, the Jewish program house on campus.
Most of my time here is spent studying in Mudd, freaking out about the Midwestern winter, gushing about my incredible classes, and rocking out to musical theatre tunes. When not doing those things, I train students about sexual misconduct through Preventing and Responding to Sexual Misconduct (PRSM) and work in the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. I’m also a PAL for first-year students, a mentor with the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Lorain County, a member of the Oberlin Acapelicans, and a student representative for the Comparative American Studies department. I’m currently working as a writer and associate editor for Wilder Voice as well!
I’m thrilled to be at Oberlin, and love sharing my adventures with you. If you see me around campus, definitely say hi! Who knows, maybe you’ll even make it into one of my blog posts…
