Kitzia has worked at the intersection of higher education, healthcare, and the nonprofit sector, most recently as Program Manager for the Biomedical Research Education Office at the University of Utah, supporting an NIH-funded initiative to prepare underrepresented students for careers in biomedical research. Prior to that, she secured funding for essential mental health programs serving low-to-moderate income populations. Kitzia grew up in Southern California and has spent the past eight years in Utah.
