Chose Endicott because of the internship program, the academics, the ability to compete on the cross country team, and the small school feel
2015: Junior season at Endicott
2014: Four top-30 finishes in her sophomore season including a top-10 showing at the Roger Williams Invitational... Season-best time of 20:56 for a 5K event at the Keene State Invitational where she finished in 36th out of 156 runners... Ran a time of 26:26 at the CCC Championships to finish 32nd out of 121 runners
Completed internships with Athletic Evolution in the summer of 2014 where she worked as a trainer for young athletes participating in sport-specific training programs and at ProEx Physical Therapy in the winter of 2014-15 where she observed a physical therapist throughout her patients' rehabilitation processes... Kiera is looking to intern at a busy hospital, in particular, shadowing a physician in the specialties of oncology, maternity, OB/GYN, or pediatrics as well as a possible internship with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Kiera on her internship experience at ProEx Physical Therapy:
"My internship at ProEx Physical Therapy was amazing and taught me many things. However, I learned that it was not the field of study I wanted to continue. I soon changed my major to biology to hopefully gear me towards medical school."
Kiera sees herself finishing graduate school and working in a hospital to begin her career while also dreaming of starting a family
In high school, Kiera volunteered at a road race, Kick In for Kids, and the Boys & Girls Club Youth Triathlon every spring season
