Kiera is a second-year honors student majoring in politics at New York University, though is originally from Massachusetts. She has a background in human rights, having worked with Amnesty International USA’s various youth programs for the past four years, presenting at a few of their national conferences. Currently, she is also a member of their National Youth Collective, which aims to increase the role of young people within the organization, especially in internal governance spaces. She is interested in technology policy, as it has become increasingly central to government functions and is thus crucial in studies of politics. Technology is now key in everything from running campaigns to mitigating climate change. Analyzing the policy that accompanies new technological developments is central to understanding how well the government is keeping up with changing times. In her free time, Kiera enjoys reading, traveling, and exploring every coffee shop New York City has to offer with her friends.
