Bio

Kiera grew up in Ryley, Alberta, a town of 400 an hour east of Edmonton. She played 1A high school basketball and a myriad of other sports.

After going through the provincial team program and helping re-establish her high school as one of the best 1A programs in the province, she played two years for the Augustana Vikings and helped lead them to their first playoff appearance in 8 years. She then played three years as a Huskie at the University of Saskatchewan- a team that had just graduated five starters the season before she arrived. She finished her career as a captain with a Canada West championship and two Final Eight appearances.

Since moving back to Alberta, she has been a mentor, a coach, a public speaker, and a broadcast analyst, all within the world of basketball. She has worked with the NAIT women's program in previous years, as well as the Lakeland Rustlers as a player development coach, and last summer was an assistant coach with the reigning 2021 Canadian Elite Basketball League Champions, The Edmonton Stingers.
