Kelly joined the Parkwood staff in September 2025 as our Administrative Assistant. She is the proud mother of three children—an energetic 8-year-old son, a creative 5-year-old daughter, and a joyful 2-year-old son.
Before becoming a stay-at-home mom, Kelly gained valuable experience in child development and education through a variety of roles, including teaching, serving as a childcare director, and working as a nanny. These experiences allowed her to support families and nurture young learners while developing a compassionate and thoughtful approach that she now brings to her work at Parkwood.
In her free time, Kelly enjoys spending time with family and friends, a little retail therapy, and relaxing with a good book or her favorite television shows. Being present for her children—whether it's school pick-ups, soccer games, or cheer practice—has been one of the most rewarding chapters of her life.
Kelly is excited to be part of the Parkwood team and officially became a member of Parkwood Church in January 2025. She looks forward to helping the church continue its mission of faith, fellowship, and service while welcoming and supporting all who come through Parkwood's doors.
