Keira Hambrick
Keira’s wide-ranging interests lead her to double major in Biology and English as an undergraduate student at Marietta College, Ohio. During the chaos of her senior year in college, she applied to UNR in the hopes of finding a way to merge her academic interests and love for xeric ecosystems.
Now a Master’s student in the L&E program at UNR, she is happily adjusting to the demands of graduate life, and has been subsisting primarily on a diet of fruits harvested from her front yard. Keira enjoys writing about herself in the third person, studying the connections between society, nature, and science, and reading and writing poetry. Her academic interests include Appalachian literature, mining narratives, bioregionalism, the rhetoric of science writing, postcolonialism, and ecopoetics.
After completing her M.A. in the L&E program, Keira plans to attend MIT to earn a second Master’s degree in science writing.
