Kelly is currently an overworked Muskegon Catholic High School teacher, where she has taught for 11 years, with 6 different classes: Honors 9, Literature and Composition 9, Literature and Composition 10, Honors British Literature 11, A.P. Literature, and Yearbook. She earned her undergraduate degree in English and a Social Studies Composite from Hope College. She is currently finishing up her graduate thesis in English Literature from Grand Valley State University. When she isn't teaching (in all her spare time), she resides in Grand Haven with her husband and her 3-year-old son.
It wasn't until graduate school that Kelly found her voice and began to enjoy reflecting on her learning. She was always an avid reader (only now it is an avid reader of freshmen and sophomore essays). Most of her reading and writing now is academically based, but she does enjoy the classics Dante's Inferno and Paradise Lost, along with anything dealing with historical fiction (with an emphasis on the fiction part). Kelly considers her mentor to be David Alvarez, a professor at GVSU who writes about growing up in a colonized country.
Sitting in her training on March 22 at the MAISD, Kelly's mind was blown!
