An impoverished upbringing in what most would consider a haunted house with a terminally ill mother and outlaw-biker father inspires and informs Kelly’s storytelling.
Her writing is authentic and character-driven with complex narratives centered on navigating the moral compass. She's eager to explore further the human connection, raw and uncomfortable to hilariously awkward universal experiences, and the driving forces behind our actions.
Kelly has received multiple accolades across genres, including 1st Place in Season 5 of the Killer Shorts 1-page category, Best Short Screenplay, and Best Horror Short Screenplay at HorrOrigins, Second Rounder at AFF, and placements on The Red List.
She has several projects in development, with an Emmy-winning director attached to her feature horror script, Don't Blink.
