Personal Hobbies and Interests
Outside of work, life on Kelly’s “little farm” is bustling with love and energy. Her son, Justice, shares her hands-on spirit, often found tinkering with cars and trucks. The farm’s animal residents include horses Stryker and Goose, cats Ears and Heidi, and a pack of Australian Shepherds—Cowboy, Ruger, Blueberry, Midnight, Missy, and Ranger—who keep every day lively and full of playful adventure.
One of Kelly’s proudest achievements is her success with her Quarter Horse stallion, A Dynamic Mister. Together, they achieved second in the nation, multiple top-five rankings, Reserve Champion at the Quarter Horse Congress, and top-10 placements at the Quarter Horse World Show. Her dedication to breeding, foaling, and raising exceptional horses exemplifies her passion and perseverance.
Why I Chose This Profession
Kelly’s love for animals runs as deep as her country roots. Growing up on a farm in Wheaton with her parents, sister, and a lively assortment of animals, Kelly’s childhood was a whirlwind of adventure. Her family’s farm was a haven for Quarter Horses and Australian Shepherds, and through 4-H, she mastered the art of raising and showing horses, cattle, sheep, swine, and more. Her experiences in 4-H, from caring for animals to honing her public speaking skills, shaped her into the driven and compassionate animal lover she is today.
Work History
Since high school, Kelly’s career has been a reflection of her lifelong passion. She started at a small veterinary clinic, supporting wherever needed, before becoming a veterinary technician, assisting with surgeries, dental procedures, and more. She’s also worked as an equine and livestock nutritionist, sharing her knowledge to support the health and wellness of animals both large and small.
