Raised in Portland, Oregon, Kelly draws inspiration from nature and community. She is fueled by collaboration, really long walks, and literature! As a writer, Kelly is passionate about bringing to light stories that inspire forgiveness and empathy.

Kelly is a proud graduate of the 2024 BFA Acting program at The Theatre School at DePaul University, where she studied under the notable directors Nicole Ricciardi, Dexter Bullard, and Damon Kiely. Her most recent credit included A Wrinkle In Time at the Merle Reskin Theatre.

In her spare time, Kelly has taken up watercolor painting and is learning pottery!

Favorite artists: Phoebe Waller-Bridge (obviously) and Brit Marling.
