With a personal philosophy that, “you can never stop improving,” Kelli finds so much joy in fostering the talent fueled by passion, in and outside of UVA. Kelli has a passion for photography, and that passion lead her to running a wedding and portrait photography business outside of regular work hours. Kelli also works as a dance instructor at the very same studio she grew up dancing in. She has always had a passion for dance and is honored to foster that passion in the new generation.  

She achieved an associates of science degree from Liberty University, and prior to joining the UVA Career Center this year, Kelli worked as a Social Media and Marketing Manager at a local brewery. In her free time she likes to live an active lifestyle, prioritize time with family, and integrate photography into her daily life.
