This article is about the real life person behind the DJB character Kyra Starfire.

Brief History

I was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania but grew up and attended High School in a Philadelphia suburb. Following High School I enlisted in the United States Army and then left with an honorable discharge.

College and Beyond

I attended West Chester University of Pennsylvania where I received a BA in Anthropology. I went to graduate school in Newcastle-upon-Tyne a city in North-east England attending Newcastle University. Here I earned a MA in Archaeological Practice. Following Grad school I found work as an Archaeologist in the States and has taught an undergraduate cultural anthropology course.

Currently I reside in the Philadelphia Suburb of Malvern.

Star Wars and the DJB

I was hooked on Star Wars at the age of five when my dad showed my younger brother and I episode 4. Since the first time watching Darth Vader on screen and after seeing the three originals dozens of times I became a Star Wars fan for life. I joined the Dark Jedi Brotherhood in 2006 when I was looking for an online Star Wars club dedicated to the Dark side and Dark Jedi, it also happened following my first play through of Knights of the Old Republic. I was fascinated by the Sith from the game and the Prequel movies. I also wanted to be apart of a club that was more than just a SW club but had multiple activities. Writing fiction, being part of a clan, the ACC, and the Shadow Academy appealed to me and still keeps me here today. Though I left to concentrate on grad school I came back and now enjoy the club even more, and since coming back I have been reading Star wars books and playing more Star Wars games.

Miscellaneous

Besides Star Wars I am an avid fan of the Dune novels and the TV series Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, and now Stargate Universe. Elements of Dune have been introduced into my DB character and fiction. Outside Star Wars and the DJB, I am a Scuba Diver, amateur astronomer, and enjoys going to museums and cultural events, also I am always reading about Ancient History. I am also a gamer playing various games on my PC and PS3, my husband also games and likes SW but he is not as crazy about it as I am.
