Kyra Roberts

Biography

Originally from Florida, I moved to Grand Rapids in 2020 to pursue a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Though the cold has taken some adjusting, I have found a love for all the unique experiences this city has offered me!

Having always possessed an interest in people, I knew from the very start I wanted to pursue a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. However, it was not until I joined an organization on my university’s campus that largely involved promoting awareness for domestic violence that I knew exactly what I would do with that degree. My work there showed me firsthand the complex struggles teens and college aged students can be going through daily. I found a passion for working with and for not only survivors of domestic violence but all young people who were facing adversity. This passion led me on my current path, pursuing a degree that will allow me to help others on a deeper level.

When I’m not at work or in class I enjoy making the most of living in a new city! Exploring all the unique restaurants and shopping has quickly become a favorite pastime of mine! I also enjoy reading pretty much anything I can get my hands on, discovering new music, creating Spotify playlists for every mood imaginable, and decorating my apartment!
