Contributing Writer

Kelly is an RN/IBCLC turned freelance writer. After earning her nursing degree, Kelly became a board-certified lactation consultant through the International Board of Lactation Consultant Examiners. She later went on to earn an NCC Certification in Maternal Newborn Nursing. With four kids at home between the ages of 9 and 17, Kelly now helps people with their legal matters and financial health instead of with their physical health. Knowing how confusing legal and financial topics can be, Kelly makes it her mission to give readers a better understanding of the issues they face. Her current clients include agencies, lawyers, and financial advisors. Many of her works were published on the American news website, Examiner.com. and the online magazine, Colorado Biz. She is thankful for the opportunity to help others through her writing while still having a flexible schedule that allows her to taxi her kids around their Denver suburb. In addition to her extensive writing in bankruptcy topics, Kelly has experienced what a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is from the inside. She's also written about topics such as financial and estate planning, divorce, personal injury, business law, criminal defense, breastfeeding, newborn care, miscarriage, orthopedics, and education. Kelly's 15-year-old daughter is an entrepreneur, and Kelly helps her manage the financial logistics of her business. In early 2021, she started taking guitar lessons, which she finds both challenging and rewarding. In her spare time, you'll find her playing with her dogs, going to concerts and comedy shows, watching true crime shows on TV, attending her daughters' gymnastics meets or spending time with her family.
