Kelly joined the Parkwood staff in September 2025 as our Administrative Assistant.
She is the proud mother of three—a lively 7-year-old son, a creative 4-year-old daughter, and a joyful 1-year-old son.
Before becoming a stay-at-home mom, Kelly gained meaningful experience in child development and education through several roles that allowed her to support families and nurture young learners. This background gives her a compassionate, thoughtful perspective in her work at Parkwood.
In her free time, Kelly enjoys spending time with close friends, a bit of retail therapy, and relaxing with a good book or favorite TV show. Being present for her children—whether it’s school pick-ups, soccer games, dance lessons, or therapy appointments—has been one of the most rewarding seasons of her life.
Kelly is excited to be part of the Parkwood team and became a member of Parkwood Church in January of 2025.
