About Me

Kelly’s acting foundation is rooted in The Seven Pillars method (a comprehensive technique by Sonya Cooke based on the combined teachings of Stanislavsky, Adler, Meisner, Declan Donnellan, and Grotowski) which she studied at The Actor’s Studio of Orange County. She participated in their Advanced Industry Showcase and then continued to expand her skills at The Second City, Margie Haber Studios, Lesly Kahn & Co and Shari Shaw Studios.

In her free time, you can find Kelly playing video games, riding horses or starting a new craft that she may or may not finish. And don’t get her started on her level 15 tempest cleric that she plays in Dungeons and Dragons.

She is currently managed by Ignite Elite Artists and repped Commercially by Tim Measures at One Light Entertainment.
