BIO

Kelly grew up in Franklin, Tennessee, in a devoted Christian home that helped shape her faith and love for the Lord. She attended Franklin High School, where she cheered and danced, before graduating from Liberty University with a degree in Elementary Education. She previously taught third grade in Williamson County Schools.

Kelly has a heart for Christian education and a passion for helping students develop a faith of their own. Her desire is for each child not only to learn about Jesus but also to encounter Him personally and grow in a genuine relationship with the Lord. Her favorite Scripture, John 7:37–38, reflects this passion, as Jesus invites those who are thirsty to come to Him and drink from the living water only He can provide. Kelly’s prayer is that her students will come to know Jesus as their source of living water and carry that faith with them far beyond the classroom.

Outside the classroom, Kelly enjoys traveling with her family, gardening in her greenhouse, and caring for her backyard chickens. She feels incredibly blessed to be part of the GCA family and is especially grateful for the opportunity to have her own children attend school alongside her.
