She is also actively involved with an international network of law firms where she acts on the Insurance Steering Committee. During their undergraduate studies, Kelly and her husband, Matt, attended Semester at Sea; a study abroad program that circumnavigated the globe, stopping in countries such as Vietnam, India, Malaysia, Turkey, South Africa, Kenya and Morocco. It was this journey that instilled their appreciation and motivation to expose their daughters to a multi-cultural education and raise them as global citizens.
