Continuing to advance the legacy of Dr. Walter Kyte by providing and implementing creative programs and services.

Jennifer Kyte migrated from Guyana in 1971 to Canada where she lived and worked with the Ontario government as a data entry operator. She later joined the Staff at Mt. Sinai hospital as a medical lab technician, until she moved to the united states after a union to Walter Kyte.


Jennifer worked with the Department of Consumer Affairs a City of NY agency from 1986 for four years and joined the NYC board of Education where she worked for six years as a teacher and 14 years as a high school guidance counselor until her retirement in 2010.  She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Community and Human Service from Empire State College, A Master degree in Education from Brooklyn College and an Advance certification in guidance and counseling from Brooklyn College. In addition, Jennifer was the site coordinator for the Project Prize, the Liberty Partnership program in collaboration with Queensborough Community College at Campus Magnet High School in Cambria Heights NY.


She received many recognition and awards during her career. She is the founder of The Dr. Walter A. Kyte Memorial Foundation, a non-profit organization where she vowed to carry on the legacy of her late husband who had a passion for education. She gives thanks to God for all of her accomplishments and to her children who always encourages and support her in continuing her passion in making a difference. She lives and believes:
“Once a task has begun,
never leave it until it is done,

though the task be great or small, do it well or not at all.”

For those of you looking at my picture and wondering who am I. My name is Debra Skinner. I migrated to the USA in 1980 at which time I continued the acquisition of my dream in furthering my education.
I was blessed with a job in the banking industry while  pursuing my BS in Business Management and MS in Human Resource Management.
My tenure at the bank lasted for 21 years, after which I changed profession as a Program Manager at Google and remain employed there.


In the year 2012 I had a personal encounter with my Lord  in which I give my heart to Him, life has not been easy I have had  my ups and downs, difficult times when I would question God, but He has never failed me. I have learnt to trust in Him and leave matters beyond my control in His care and keeping, just to witness His mighty works in my life through some of my most difficult period. This has helped me to grow in my faith and enjoy an intimate relationship with Him.

I enjoy spending quiet time reading, travelling and helping to carry on the life and dream of my good friend and mentor Dr Walter Kyte.
