After receiving her masters degree in London with a concentration in youth rights, she joined AmeriCorps and was placed at Horizons, where she facilitated the youth leadership program. In addition, Kelly worked at Teen Living Programs, where she established a youth council.
Currently at Howard Brown Health Center, Kelly has directed her attention to individuals living with HIV, and continues to initiate programs that encourage individuals to actively engage with the services they receive.
