Lira was an Economics major in college. On a dare, she and a friend attended the general auditions for Theatre Bay Area. From that audition, Lira landed a leading role, working with award-winning playwright Ed Bullins in a production of "In the Wine Time". It was a life changing moment for Lira - who then changed her major to theatre. She later went on to attend The American Academy of Dramatic Arts and The Beverly Hills Playhouse. She enjoys all aspects of working in theatre, film and television. Her love for theatre has taken her to the east coast to work in the play "Mothers" a Bill Cosby Commission at Crossroads Theatre, and to the west coast at The Mark Tapper Forum in Los Angeles in the play "Change of Heart". She is a company member of Towne Street Theatre in Los Angeles Ca. Along with spending time with her family, Lira enjoys yoga, gardening, reading and working on her musical projects in her studio.
