About Kelli:
I am a proud UConn and ACES alumna! I started in the ACES program after transferring to UConn my sophomore year (shout out to our transfer students!), and graduated in 2011 with a B.A. in Sociology and a minor in Spanish. After discovering my interest in working with college students, I then went on to earn my Master's degree at Northeastern University in Boston.

I started college with a set plan for what I wanted to major in until I had my first job shadow experience, which completely changed my mind, freaked me out for a minute, and then allowed me the chance to explore myself and other options that I had never considered before. I understand that college can be such a transformative time, so my goal is to support you in making sense of this moment in your life not only as a student but more importantly, as a human being!
