Congratulations to our winner, Kysa Roberts, one of our Outstanding Women of 2026!
“She is one of the most selfless women I know, dropping everything if there is any animal that needs to be rescued.” -Jennifer Donoghue
Between working full-time as a science teacher at Saranac Middle School and being a mother, Kysa Roberts does not have a lot of free time. Kysa uses the limited free time she does have to thoughtfully rescue, care for, and rehome animals in need. Kysa has gone as far as to set up a cat sanctuary in her home and pick up a second job to support her selfless hobby. Kysa is always looking out for her students and giving a voice to animals that cannot advocate for themselves. Her kindness knows no bounds!
