Kristin Kelly
Kristin brings 15 years of experience in public relations and community engagement. She has a passion for bringing people together through quality, consistent communications all while putting students first. Her natural drive is to exceed client expectations through a strong eye for detail and unparalleled project management.
Prior to joining CESO in 2022, Kristin worked at a high school district in the western suburbs of Chicago. Before shifting to school PR, she worked at an agency in Omaha, Nebraska serving clients in the arts, education, and public health industries by focusing on their brand and communications needs. She served in many leadership roles and on committees during her time as a member of the Nebraska Chapter of the Public Relations Society of American and the Illinois Chapter of the National School Public Relations Association.
When not working, Kristin enjoys taking walks with her husband and three young children, going on vacation to warmer climates, and hosting dinners for family and friends. Even though life has brought her from Nebraska to Illinois to Michigan, she will always be a Kansas City Royals fan.
