Her family moved to Georgia from New Jersey when Kelly was a young girl. She always knew she wanted to be a teacher. The oldest of four girls, Kelly forced her sisters to take spelling tests and solve math problems! She received her Bachelors from Nyack College, NY, and relocated to Hollywood, Florida, where she taught second grade for 6 years. In 1999 Kelly finished her Masters at Nova and returned to Georgia to work at Intown Community School in 2000. Since joining the community, she has taught K, 2, 3, Yearbook and can be found most afternoons with the Discovery program. She loves being a part of a team of educators that strives to do what is best for children and value them as image bearers!
