Kelly is a longtime resident of Shreveport. She and her husband Art have two children, Rustyn and Lennox, and a cat named Tom Riddle. She received a bachelor degree in Biology from Louisiana Tech and went on to earn her degree in dental hygiene from Tyler Junior College.

Since graduating, Kelly has worked mainly in the Shreveport area but, interesting fact, worked five years in New York City while her husband completed a fellowship at Columbia University.

Kelly loves baking, crafting and sparkles. Lots of sparkles. When she gets a few minutes to herself you can probably find her watching reality TV, especially on Bravo.
