While in high school, she was a two-year charter member of the Evans High School Dance Team and performed in the Opening Ceremonies of the ’96 Summer Olympic Games in Atlanta. After high school, Kelly began her teaching career in dance, which included ballet, tap and jazz to children of various ages.

She coached the team for five years while attending Augusta State University. Kelly was also a choreographer for the Greenbrier High School Show Choir’s production of Godspell.

In addition to Kelly’s dance and choreography accomplishments, she is also a graduate of the Medical College of Georgia with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. While working as a registered nurse, she continued to teach dance at Center Stage Dance Academy.
