kyra wood
My name is Kyra Wood and I have called the wonderful community of Juneau, Alaska home for my whole life.
I began acting at seven years old in a community theater production of “Anne of Green Gables” and have since then performed in more shows than I can count. I most recently performed as the Tinman in JDHS’s production of “The Wizard of Oz”. In freshman year, I accidentally joined an Academic Decathlon zoom meeting, which kick-started my four-year career as a Decathlete. Additionally, I was a member of the JDHS tennis team, parliamentarian for NHS, and the president of the JDHS Crimson Chronicle Newspaper my senior year.
In the future, I plan to get my Bachelor’s Degree in Neuroscience and my Master’s in Education with the end goal of becoming an elementary school teacher
