Bio: 

Kelly has been working in Drupal since 2011. She entered the field as an agency financial analyst and production manager, delving deeper into Drupal over the 4 years at her first agency. From 2011 to 2015, Kelly moved toward a varied career, encompassing operations management, QA testing, SEO and analytics, copywriting, project and program management, and site building.

In 2015, Kelly moved on to Mediacurrent and into full-time customer success and project management. She then assumed a leadership position as Senior Director of Project Management in January 2019. In July 2020, Kelly decided to make the shift back to full-time project management, taking a role at Kanopi Studios as a Senior Project Manager. In April 2021, Kelly stepped away from the agency space to join Red Hat as a Documentation Program Manager.

Kelly is an active member of the Drupal community. She has coorganized BoFs at DrupalCon Baltimore and DrupalCon Nashville in 2017 and 2018, as well as presenting sessions at DrupalCon Seattle in 2019 and being selected to present at DrupalCon Minneapolis in 2020. Kelly has also presented sessions at various Drupal camps in North Carolina, Georgia, and California.

In addition to speaking engagements, Kelly was part of a front end development training panel at BADCamp 2018 and DrupalCon Seattle 2019. Most recently, Kelly was a co-lead of the Community Summit for DrupalCon 2020 and is part of the organizing committees for Drupal Camp Asheville and the Bay Area Drupal Camp.
