Before joining the teaching staff at Oswego East High School, Kelly taught for two years at the high school level in Illinois and two and a half years at the secondary school level in the United Kingdom.  At her Illinois posts, she stood as Band Director at Newton Community High School and then as Assitant Band Director at Plainfield Central High School.  After then attending Indiana University, where she received her Master`s in Wind Conducting, Kelly taught music at the Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 Levels (ages 11-16) in Eastbourne, England.  Through these posts, Kelly gained experience teaching a variety of music courses including Concert Band, Marching Band, Jazz Band, Orchestra, Choir, Music Theory, composition, and general music.

 Kelly is happy to be a member of the Oswego East staff.  Currently, she teaches Concert Band, Wind Ensemble, Wind Symphony, Marching Band, Jazz Band & Pep Band.  She is a member of the NBA, MENC, WASBE, WBDI, Tau Beta Sigma, and Delta Omicron.

  Kelly owes great thanks to those teachers who have supported her throughout her education and teaching.  One day she hopes to be as great as her mentors:  Ray Cramer, Greg Bimm, Marc Whitlock, Dan Farris, Steve Steele, and Steve Pratt.
