The Saved Effect
When Ordinary People Do Extraordinary Things
Drawing from the true stories in her co-authored book, Kiera shares compelling narratives of bystanders who stepped up in moments of crisis — and the ripple effect their actions created. This keynote reframes emergency preparedness as a human story, not a technical checklist.
CPR Readiness & Bystander Action
The Science and Psychology of Acting in a Crisis
Kiera combines her clinical expertise as an NREMT with her background in psychology to explore why people freeze in emergencies — and how training, confidence, and community change that equation. Practical, evidence-based, and deeply human.
Mental Health in Emergency Medicine
Caring for the Caregivers
From the ER floor to the field, emergency professionals carry invisible weight. Kiera speaks candidly about the psychological toll of frontline work, the importance of peer support, and what organizations can do to build resilient, sustainable teams.
AI & the Future of Prehospital Care
Where Technology Meets the Human Moment
As a co-author of a peer-reviewed study on large language models in prehospital settings, Kiera brings a unique perspective on how emerging technology is reshaping emergency medicine — and why the human element will always be irreplaceable.
