She also has a background in equestrian competition, specifically in jumping and hunter jumper events.

The performing arts run in her family—her mother worked as a model, singer, and actress in major campaigns and musical theater productions, and passed on that creative legacy to Kelley and her sisters.

Outside of her professional work, Kelley enjoys surfing, paddleboarding, hiking, and life on the Big Island. She is currently learning Dutch and French, and continues to expand her creative pursuits through drawing and choreography.
