Meet Kelly

Kelly joined our team full-time in 2018. She originally joined the Cancer Support Community family through an internship at Gilda’s Club Chicago when she was in graduate school.

She earned her Master of Social Work degree from DePaul University and her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Iowa.

After five years in Chicago, Kelly returned to the Quad Cities to be closer to her family. In her role, she facilitates support groups for individuals impacted by cancer, provides psychosocial support and resource navigation, and helps connect participants with needed services and care.

Kelly is a certified chair yoga teacher and leads both chair yoga and guided meditation classes to support stress reduction and emotional well-being. She also leads Survivor and Caregiver Cancer Transitions survivorship programs, helping participants navigate life during and after cancer treatment.
