Kelly is a marketing and project management professional with 10 years of experience leading teams, managing client relationships, and bringing projects from idea to completion. Her work spans branding, strategy, community engagement, digital marketing, and events, with a focus on making each project clear, useful, and aligned with the people it’s meant to serve. Born and raised in Michigan, Kelly grew up spending summers up north fishing, exploring the woods, and eating good local food. Now living in the Pacific Northwest, she spends her free time foraging for mushrooms, picking berries, growing food, and heading to the coast to dig for razor clams, gather mussels, and collect seaweed. Her love for local food systems and the people who grow, catch, make, and share food shapes both her work and her life. Outside of work, you’ll usually find Kelly cooking, exploring the forest, working in the garden, or finding her next great meal close to home.
