Hi, and welcome to my class page! My name is Olivia Kennelly, and I am thrilled to be joining the ACE family this year. This will be my 10th year in education. I began my teaching career in first grade and spent five years in first before moving up to third grade for the last four years. I truly love working with kids, building relationships, and helping each child reach his or her potential.

Here's a little bit about me...

I grew up in Georgia, but fell in love with the Upstate after attending Clemson University. I graduated in 2017 with a Bachelor of Arts in Early Childhood Education and moved to Greenville shortly after. I completed my Masters of Education in Literacy in May of 2021 from Clemson as well. Go Tigers!

My husband, Connor, and I got married in March of 2025. We live near downtown Greenville with our sweet pup, Reese! In my free time I love to read, cook, spend time with my family and friends, and go on walks with Reesey Cup on the Swamp Rabbit Trail. I have one younger brother who lives in Texas with his wife, and I am looking forward to becoming an aunt this year!
