Kyra grew up attending Usdan Summer Camp for the Arts. Her love for the institution as a student quickly evolved into a passion for contributing to its continued growth as an adult and staff member. Kyra feels lucky to split her time between the stage and administrative offices. During her tenure at Usdan Kyra has assisted the Director of Development, the Director of Student Affairs, and many other senior staff members. Most recently, Kyra was promoted to be Usdan's Community Relations Coordinator. In this position she helped to create, fund, and run Usdan's Sunflower Scholarship program, which fully funded the Usdan experience for a group of Ukrainian refugee children, who were fleeing their war-torn country and seeking safety in the NYC area.

Kyra has also done some development and fundraising work for DCM, Inc. and, most recently, for the Off-Broadway MCC Theater in NYC.
