Kelly began her accompanying career rather early, while she was a member of the Columbus Indiana Children’s Choir. This early love for creating music with others led her to pursue and complete a bachelor’s degree in music education from Valparaiso University in 2019. She has played in the pit orchestra for a number of musicals, served as music director for shows in Vancouver, WA, supported many students at Solo & Ensemble competitions, and accompanied countless choral, vocal, and instrumental performances. She enjoys finding opportunities to perform and arrange music outside of work, where she teaches general music at Jacob Wismer Elementary School in Beaverton. Kelly is excited for the opportunity to support this choir and its artistic growth!
