Kiara completed her Bachelor of Science in Honours Kinesiology at the University of Victoria. During her time in university, Kiara was a member and captain of the UVic Vikes varsity women’s soccer team where she was an Academic and Athletic All-Canadian. Being a high-level athlete sparked her interest in pursuing a career related to sport, performance, and human movement. On top of working as a Kinesiologist, Kiara is currently involved in several strength and conditioning internships where she is expanding her knowledge and experience developing and training athletes in a variety of different sports including soccer, rugby, baseball, and basketball. She is passionate about motivating all patients to reach their therapy and fitness goals and to get excited about living a healthy, active lifestyle.
Born and raised in Victoria, Kiara is very much a West Coast island girl and spends most of her free time outdoors hiking, paddle boarding, or enjoying the many incredible beaches with friends, family, and her golden retriever. Despite her varsity soccer days being behind her, Kiara stays active either running, weightlifting, or kicking the ball around.
