Her journey and insights are a testament to the power of voting, local government involvement, and the impact young professionals can have on their communities.

For those under 25 looking to get involved, Kelly offered practical advice: start by understanding who your local elected officials are, attend city council meetings, and consider volunteering for campaigns. She also encouraged young people to run for office themselves, emphasizing that waiting your turn is not necessary. If you have ideas and passion, now is the time to step up and make a difference. Kelly's dedication to her community extends beyond her professional life. She shared how she takes care of herself by setting aside Sundays for personal time and staying active through regular gym sessions. Her commitment to self-care ensures that she can continue to give her best to her community and her work. This episode is a powerful reminder of the importance of staying engaged in the political process and the impact that each of us can have on our communities.
