Personal Facts
Outside of wrangling a household of boys and spectating their sporting events, Kelly’s joy is volunteering with the horses, goats, roosters, and donkeys at Laughing Pony Rescue. She has also always loved planes, working during her undergraduate studies at a jet center at Palomar Airport. Kelly earned her pilot’s license, although, she did need to sit on a pillow to reach the rudders!
