Kyra is a Canadian born footballer who started from Toronto and took her talents to Howard University in Washington to pursue athletics and health sciences. Though she had no intention of a pro career, she was quickly noticed by the Saint Kitts & Nevis Women’s National team and brought on as their goalkeeper and captain.

Today, Kyra serves as the CEO for healthcare consulting firm, Persimmon Group while continuing to train and educate young athletes as a mentor and coach.

We sit down with Kyra to discuss her journey through athletics and healthcare, the culture shock of playing abroad, and the mentality of athletes representing their country. We hope you enjoy!
