Kelly is a founding Noah's House Board of Directors member serving as the Board Secretary since its inception. She recently accepted the Noah's House Treasurer role due to her back office experience managing finances and oversight of complex contracts. Additionally, Kelly is intimately familiar with the disease of addiction and how it can tear families and communities apart. She has personally experienced the lasting trauma that comes with having loved ones struggle and even die from these addictions.  She recently experienced the loss of her uncle Robert who passed away last November due to complications from alcohol addiction.

 

Kelly works side by side with her brother John and the Noah's House team to provide access to support systems, a safe and stable environment, as well as the certain belief that people can change as long as you never give up hope.

 

In her spare time, Kelly enjoys playing with her two dogs, eating Baltimore blue crabs, and spending time with her family in Rehoboth DE at the beach.
