Dr. Kylie Roy is thrilled to be part of the Psychology Department at SFBU. She is originally from sunny Southern California and completed her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the University of San Francisco.

Dr. Roy’s research is centered on understanding how individuals can experience resilience and positive transformation following trauma. She is passionate about helping people navigate and thrive after difficult experiences.

Outside of academia, Dr. Roy enjoys spending time with her dog, cats, and boyfriend. She is an avid hiker and enjoys exploring new trails and outdoor adventures.
