Kyria is a PhD student in the social work program at the Brown School, as well as a Spencer T. and Ann W. Olin Fellow. Her research interests revolve around perinatal harm reduction and the criminalization of pregnancy. Before coming to WashU, Kyria worked as a birth doula for about a decade and will forever consider herself a birth nerd. She also has experience in working with street-based sex workers and in harm reduction. Outside of work, she is usually listening to an audiobook or trying to learn French.
