Born and raised in Essex, Kiera moved to London for her
BA in Journalism; interning at the Sunday Times and Marie Clare,
before discovering a passion for hospitality via one too many
Masterchef: The Professionals episodes (and being a pizza
connoisseur).
From her staff writer role at LONDNR to Editorial Assistant at
DesignMyNight, Kiera turned this love into a career talking about
UK culture, entertainment and hospitality. Also one half of
alternative pop band Head Ballet, co-writing and recording all
their songs, she's a master of the written word in more ways than
one.
