Hey there, I’m Kira! I'm a senior from a small town in Northern California, the land of redwood trees and hippies. While I love home and talk about it a lot, I’m excited to be living in a different part of the country for now. This year, I live in a sweet off-campus house with four friends and a very large houseplant. I'm a big talker and love finding all the coziest places in Oberlin to chat with my friends about current events, Mitski, and the best TV shows out there right now.
Most of my time at Oberlin is spent making films at the Apollo, freaking out about the Midwestern winter, gushing about my classes, and riding my bike around campus. 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, and a major representative for the Comparative American Studies department. At different points in my Oberlin career, I've also written and edited for Wilder Voice, worked at The Oberlin Review, sung in an acapella group, and led Students United for Reproductive Freedom (SURF).
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…
