Occupation: Accountant for the St. Louis County Government Sheriff's Office

Other than her main interest, the St. Louis Tip Toppers, Kelly's interests include reading (especially mysteries and suspense novels), gardening and taking long walks. She also lists her five nieces and nephews as her favorite people, calling them loving, free spirited kids and definitely future tallsters! She also sings alto in the St. Mary Magdalen Parish Choir.

When asked why she would like to be Miss TI, Kelly wrote: "As Miss Tall International®, I would have the opportunity to interface with a variety of people across the country. The position of Miss TI would be an excellent forum to promote awareness of Marfan syndrome, the official charity adopted by TCI, and to help develop ways to raise the needed funding for research into its treatment and cure."
