After launching her career as a marketer and project manager in the technology and advertising industries, she decided to switch things up.

Kelly quickly became one of the most sought-after acting coaches in television, working on numerous pilots and television shows for Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, Amazon, and Netflix. This led to her ultimate passion, which is directing. She debuted on the Emmy-nominated Netflix show ALEXA & KATIE and directed several episodes including the series finale.
