    In 2014, Kieran started at Bay of Plenty Polytechnic as Director - Education and Māori Development. She held several senior roles here at Toi Ohomai before being seconded into the Director of Quality role at Te Pūkenga, and then moving over to the Partnership and Equity Team (now Tiriti Outcomes) where she currently is the Kaikōkiri Tiriti Practices.
