BA in Russian and Eurasian Studies

Kira Clark turned personal adversity into a mission of service. After her honorable discharge from the U.S. Army, where she served as a linguist, Clark found purpose in helping fellow veterans through the healing power of service dogs. 

She founded K9s Serving Vets, a nonprofit that connects veterans with service dog organizations and trainers tailored to their needs. Her advocacy stems from her own transformative experience with a service dog, inspiring her to create fundraisers and now lead a national impact. 

Clark’s latest venture, SassKo, introduces a patented service dog alert system designed to support veterans, seniors, and others in medical emergencies—furthering her commitment to care and connection.
