Kelli is the Director of Communications for First Congregational Church. She earned a BA in Journalism/Advertising and Visual Communication from Northern Illinois University. Her professional life is comprised of an eclectic mix of experiences, including publishing, advertising, marketing, a home-based graphic design business and special education teaching; however, her favorite 'job' of all was that of being an at-home mom to her sons, Derek and Kevin, now in college and high school. Kelli is an avid sports fan and a lover of many things--art & music, exercising, her family and traveling anywhere near beautiful water.
