Kira is a Research Administrator at the Ottawa Hospital Research Institute and an Administrative Assistant in the Ottawa Hospital’s Outpatient Mental Health department. After graduating high school in 2014, Kira tried out a few different career options before deciding on office administration in 2022. Their passion for mental health care and equity is what drives them and their work.

 Having a bit of experience in a few different areas, Kira could be called a jack-of-all-trades, especially with anything creative. From crochet, to hair and makeup, to crafting drinks, they always find a way to express their creative side in whatever they do. Besides being creative, Kira is also an animal lover, and one day wants to have a rescue aviary.
