GET TO KNOW KELLY.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT TGS?
Meeting new people and having new experiences.
What motivates you?
Building diverse teams that create value for themselves and for their communities.
what accomplishment are you most proud of?
I’m very proud of having recently graduated from NYU Stern with my MBA through the Executive program. I started the program in January of 2020, extremely optimistic and excited for what was ahead. When the pandemic hit 2 months into the program, having a rhythm of learning in my life helped me cope in more ways than I could have imagined. I developed a mental toughness that I didn’t know was possible and gained heaps of knowledge and capability along the way.
What is one piece of advice you would share with your younger self?
Trust yourself – thinking twice is a waste of time.
