A Diverse Background in Public Service

Originally from the Northeast, she paused her early pre-law track to raise her four children. She later earned a Master’s in Public Administration from the University of Central Florida (UCF)—Go Knights!—and built a robust first career in first response and law enforcement. Kelly served the community initially as a Critical Care Paramedic and later as a Law Enforcement Officer, eventually retiring as a Detective Sergeant with the City of Oviedo Police Department.
