About Me
Hi! My name is Kira, and I am a dietetic intern at the University of Maryland.
​
I was born and raised in Ottawa, Canada, and I am proud of my Canadian identity. My parents relocated my three brothers and me to the Washington DC area in 2001, where we graduated from high school in Montgomery County, Maryland.
​
After high school, I returned to Canada for university, this time going to the west coast. I attended the University of British Columbia in Vancouver and graduated with a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology, before moving back to Montgomery County. I became a chef, and after a couple of wonderful years in the kitchen, decided to combine my love of food and helping people in the healthcare setting by continuing my education. I went back to school and earned my Bachelor of Science in Nutrition & Food Science: Dietetics at the University of Maryland, College Park.

Free Time
In my free time, two of my greatest passions are knitting and running. I have knit countless hats and scarves, as well as blankets for all of my brothers and close friends. Recently, with the addition of several babies to my inner circle, I have made some cozy baby blankets too. Over the years, I have run dozens of races and recently ran the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler on Match Day in April!
