Meet Kiana

My name is Kiana. I am 14 years of age and my hometown is San Diego, California. I am a proud member of the Million Girls Moonshot 2023 Flight Crew consisting of 43 total participants from 37 states across the United States.

For me, STEM plays an important role in my everyday life as I am hard of hearing/part deaf. This is something I inherited through genetics and something I struggle with every day. STEM has given me hearing aids and the opportunity to participate in schooling, music and activities in general. In the future, I hope to develop new cures and treatments for those with hearing loss through the use of nanotechnology and microscopic implants.

While I am young, I do aspire to attend universities such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the California Institute of Technology.
