Meet Kelly

My Background
I grew up in Alexandria, MN and now call St. Cloud my home. I received my B.A. degrees in political science and psychology from St. Cloud State University. I furthered my education by obtaining my master's degree in politics from the University of Dallas in Texas. I believed that one day I would be involved in politics, and now I feel the time is right.
I have been working in the nonprofit realm for nearly 20 years. I have been an executive director of an organization that serves adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and I also had the honor to be the first development director at Central Minnesota Mental Health Center. I started a small coaching and consulting business in 2022, and I will be launching my first podcast on eating disorder recovery in late 2025. I have served on several nonprofit boards and committees and I am very active in my local Chamber of Commerce.
I am committed to running an ethical campaign that centers on integrity, compassion, and service. I look forward to meeting with constituents from all over Congressional District 6 to listen and learn about what they need from their representative.
