Hi! I'm Kira, the LGBTQ Involvement COSI at MICA.

I am a senior Psychology and Theater double major, with a minor in Arts Leadership. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am very passionate about related issues, and have previously advocated for LGBTQ+ rights through my work with the Human Rights Campaign, and being an outspoken attendant of events and protests. I also attended an Alternative Breaks trip to New York City and partnered with various LGBTQ+ organizations to volunteer and learn community building and advocacy skills to implement in my own activism back home. 

Outside of MICA, I work avidly in the world of music, art, and performance. I am a curator for the NextNOW Fest,  Program Director of WMUC , and contribute to Clarice performances by painting sets, constructing costumes, and working in sound design. I also host a radio show, which I use to draw attention to musicians of identities who are often overlooked in mainstream music, and advocate for inclusivity within the on-campus recording studio/production world. In the future, I hope to combine my passion for activism with my passion for the arts, and work towards making the creative worlds I engage with as inclusive and accessible as possible.
