Outside of work, Kelly loves to spend time with her family (especially her two sisters, two nieces, and nephew). You can often find them hiking, roller-skating, jumping on the trampoline, going to parks and movies, or doing various crafts. She has always had family pets so she understands what an important family member each animal can become! Kelly also loves learning new things and constant development. These things motivate her every day, and drive her to continue her education in veterinary medicine as far as she possibly can. More Details >>
