Born in Dallas, Texas, Kelley was raised on the softball field. Between softball tournaments, her summers were spent road-tripping, camping and traveling internationally. Those summer trips sparked Kelley's love of nature and exploration. Kelley attended college in Arkansas, where she was a collegiate athlete and earned degrees in exercise science and dental hygiene. The highlight of her college years was spending a summer studying abroad in Sweden. When not in class, Kelley could be found exploring the forests, lakes and islands of the surrounding area, aided by the endless sunshine.

It wasn’t until Kelley and her husband, Devin, spent five months traveling to more than a dozen countries (starting in New Zealand and finishing in China) that she realized the potential to have a career in the travel industry. Wanting to share her love of travel with others, Kelley started out as a travel agent and is thrilled to be part of the Nat Hab team. Now living in Oregon, Kelley spends her free time exploring the Pacific Northwest in her camper van, hiking old growth forests, cheering on the Portland Thorns, and attempting to visit every brewery in the region.
