Kiara is originally from Clarksville, TN, and moved to Memphis in 2014 to attend the University of Memphis. At Memphis, she had the opportunity to begin working in the nonprofit space as an intern for ALSAC/ St. Jude, and as a mentor at Streets Ministries. After graduating with a BA in Communications, Kiara continued working at ALSAC and specialized in using various CRMs to execute fundraising goals and cultivate relationships with donors.
Her passion for this work first began during her time at U of M, as she was able to personally witness the inequities youth and students in the Memphis community faced in health, education, housing, and more.
Kiara is excited to be in Memphis, and grateful to be a part of a team that is passionate about pushing the needle toward improved social and economic mobility for all.
