Kelly graduated from the University of Missouri - Columbia in 1996 with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications. She worked for Bank of America for 13 years before deciding to stay home with her children.
After a few years at home, God led her to homeschooling, which is how she came to City Academy of Atlanta. Over the years Kelly has volunteered in many capacities for City Academy, both as a parent volunteer and Board Member.
Her project management and communication experience in her roles at Bank of America uniquely prepared her to serve the school. Most recently that has led her to take the Admissions Coordinator and Administrative Assistant roles.
Kelly and her family are members of the Church of the Apostle and live in the Vinings Community. She and her husband Jason have been married for 21 years. Their son Hudson graduated from City Academy Atlanta as an eighth grader in 2022, and her daughter, Harper Grace, currently attends as a seventh grader. Their oldest son, Logan, is married and lives nearby with his wife and three children.
She enjoys time spent with her family, at the beach and with a good book.
