Outside of her career, Kelly maintains her passion for writing as a contributor on Collective World and Thought Catalog and published her debut novel, …with a splash of Kay in June 2023. She lives with her partner, Mario and rescue Boston Terrier, Alvin just outside of Manhattan. She loves spending time with friends, staying active through exercise and outdoor activities, reading non-fiction about society, culture, and psychology, and learning more about the world through travel.

She believes the world is more connected than we know, that humanity shares more similarities than differences and aims to seek this beauty everywhere she goes.
