A Baltimore native and graduate of Lynchburg College where she played lacrosse and worked on the Student Rescue Squad as a certified Emergency Medical Technician, Kelly started her business career with T. Rowe Price.  While working in the operations and compliance for financial investment services, Kelly played a key role in building and developing an internet mutual fund company as well as working at a division of PNC bank. 

Most recently, Kelly's management, financial and organization skills enabled her to pursue a passion for event planning in the hotel industry.  The positions she held in convention services and corporate catering sales at the Marriott Hunt Valley and Sheraton Baltimore North required impeccable organizational skills to plan, manage and execute large scale corporate and social events.

She currently lives in Timonium with her husband Mark, an endurance athlete and owner of two personal training studios. Both Kelly and Mark are frequent competitors in local running events, but now it is likely you will find them working the events.
