About

Kelly
Kelly learned early that true success isn’t defined by the position you reach, but by the personal growth gained from every obstacle you conquer. She realized it’s easy to get caught up just making a living without truly experiencing and enjoying life.
Kelly is a visionary and trailblazer in the Human Resources profession. She is an inspirational leader who helps navigate significant organizational changes, employee acquisitions, and rapid employee growth, always striving for excellent workplace culture.
Now, Kelly’s personal quest—a deeply meaningful one honoring her mom and the enduring legacy she created—is to prioritize a well-lived life. She’s on a continuous journey to improve herself and inspire others to do the same, embarking on her next chapter: truly experiencing what the world has to offer while serving others.
Kelly’s journey powerfully illustrates how embracing challenges, much like a strategic corporate leader navigates business hurdles, leads to profound personal achievement. She’s a visionary who applies principles of strategic planning and organizational development not just professionally, but to life itself.
By mastering change management, adapting to rapid personal growth through varied experiences, and fostering an excellent environment wherever she is, Kelly teaches us how to cultivate our own “workplace culture” in daily life-one built on resilience, continuous improvement, and a deep appreciation for the joy of life’s journey.
Her extensive corporate experience offers a powerful blueprint for personal leadership and evolution through active and fulfilling living.
