Q&A with Jason
Tell us a bit about your background—what brought you to Kira, and why did this opportunity resonate with you?
I have been an Executive Assistant for over a decade, having worked in executive search, management consulting, and the entertainment industry. Joining the Kira team appealed to me because of the company’s focus on using AI to bring positive change to the world, as well as the opportunity to apply my skills and years of experience in ways that will help improve efficiency, streamline operations, and help contribute to Kira’s continued growth and success.
What are you most excited about as you start your journey here?
I am very excited about being at the forefront of the use of AI technology in the education space. There is so much possibility ahead, and the prospect of helping create mutually beneficial tools for students and educators alike and seeing that implemented in real time is something I greatly look forward to taking part in.
What’s something interesting or unique about yourself that your new colleagues might be surprised to learn?
I’m a major film buff and make sure to keep abreast of all the newest releases and trends in the film industry. I’m always happy to provide personalized recommendations, discuss movie rankings and reviews, and when it comes to predicting the results of award shows, I’m your man! (the Oscars are MY Super Bowl)
How do you see your role contributing to Kira’s mission of transforming education through AI?
My goal is to help improve and refine daily company processes and to optimize the time of all I work with and support, thereby helping everything flow more smoothly. I look forward to bringing any insights I can into the application of this groundbreaking technology and to helping cement Kira’s reputation as the preeminent leader in the field.
When you’re not working, what do you love doing? Any hobbies, interests, or passion projects you’d like to share?
I’m a big fan of bar trivia — as I always tell people, “I know a little about a lot” — and I also really enjoy hiking, traveling, and anything having to do with animals. And of course, I often amuse myself experimenting with AI for fun — whether it’s seeing how my friends and family might have looked living in different historical eras or painted in certain artistic styles, finding the right melody for a new song I wrote, or just trying to solve random household issues that don’t seem to have obvious solutions.
If you see Jason in your inbox or on a call, say hello and share a favorite movie pick - he might have a hot Oscars take ready to go. And if you’re new here too, explore how Kira connects instruction, student support, grading, and insights in one place to make every instructional minute matter.
Welcome to Kira, Jason!
