A few things you might not know about Kelly…

Name one item you would take with you on a deserted island?

“Any device that will allow me to play music – Music has endless options so I think it will help keep me sane and pass the time. It has no time of day and I love all genres of music.”

If you had to eat one meal every day for the rest of your life, what would it be?

“Pasta for sure, so many topping options and filling. I don’t think I can get tired of eating pasta. I love cooking, and I love cooking pasta dishes.”

What is your absolute dream job?

“I think any job that will allow me to travel the world and experience new things. I absolutely love travel, meeting new people and getting to know different cultures and ways of living.”

Cat person or dog person

“Definitely a dog person. I have a beautiful and loving German Shepard, named Kai. He has such a big personality and entertains me daily. We have a Sunday ritual where I take him for training and running, he absolutely loves it and its our dedicated time, it’s a highlight of my week.”

What is your favorite quote?

“My all-time favorite quote has to be: ‘Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented?” Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It’s not in some of us; it’s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.’ The quote, by Marianne Williamson, and why I love it speaks to the immense potential and capability we all have and it is one quote that is self explanatory in its powerful words.”
