Yira was born and raised in Klamath Falls. Once graduating high school, she became a DSP and fell in love with assisting others in their daily lives.
Yira lives with her baby girl and boyfriend. She also has 3 fur babies, 2 dogs and 1 eccentric cat. Yira enjoys exploring Oregon’s wilderness and vacationing on California’s beaches.
After seeing the need for activities for the I/DD community in Klamath Falls, she formed an event committee called ELEVATE. Yira wrangled together 7 local agencies who work with our community to participate in planning. The committee is still growing and adding more events every year.
She hopes that this is just the beginning to a long career in I/DD services. She is grateful to be learning from such wonderful colleagues.
