These s udent-lead initiatives focused on educating UBC workers on rehabilitative and preventative strategies in the work-place.
Growing up in North Vancouver, Kira was an avid athlete, and her experience recovering from numerous sports injuries spurred her interest in the rehabilitative sciences.

Her goal is to empower clients to be in command of their own recovery and overall health.
