“I’ve always loved performing I’ve been dancing since I was 3 and in middle school, I really fell in love with theater,” said Paskett.
She originally started college as an elementary education major, but it didn’t take her long to realize that her heart was in the performing arts.
Getting her degree in musical theater with a minor in early child development, Paskett plans to balance her performance life with life as an elementary school theater teacher. Kira Paskett, a sophomore at Southern Utah University, was recently featured on the College Edition of the popular game show, Wheel of Fortune–which resulted in her winning the entire competition and a cash prize of nearly $15,000.
