Consciousness from the New College of California, San Francisco. She also attended the summer writing workshops at Naropa
University. Kelly has worked as an Assistant Editor for Northern Arizona University's Thin Air Literary Journal, held a number of
teaching positions, and currently works as a Travel Guide-Book Editor for Avalon Travel with the Rick Steves team.
Her work has appeared in Twittering Machine, the Burlington College Poetry Journal, Echoes from the Heart: A Poetry Anthology
for Peace, the New College Review and ditch, poetry that matters. She is the author of the chapbook We Once Were (Pure Carbon
Publishing, AZ), and most recently, Mastering the Dream (Second Story Books, CA), an experimental fiction novel exploring a young
woman's coming to terms with the power and danger of her own consciousness.
Kelly's recent readings include: Modern Times Bookstore (San Francisco, CA), Moe's Books (Berkeley, CA), Changing Hands
Bookstore (Tempe, AZ), The Smell (Los Angeles, CA), and Evergreen Valley College (San Jose, CA), among others. Upcoming
readings include Hastings Bookstore, Flagstaff, AZ and California Institute of Integral Studies, San Francisco, CA. for more

Photography
Kelly's Photography has been featured in Vista Magazine, Photographer's Forum Annual 2002 and Photographer's Forum Best of
College Annual 2005. My photographic Exhibits include the Fountain Hills First Annual Photographic Exhibit (by invitation only), The
Fountain Hills Third Annual Cultural Council Exhibit, and Situational Awareness, a group exhibition and fundraiser for AdBusters
Magazine and MoveOn.org (2004). She also has had photography published in Burlington College's new literary magazine The
Queen City Review, which became available in its inaugural edition in November, 2008.
In addition, Kelly pioneered the 'Storyboard Wall of Fame' for the Arizona Lost Boys Center, located in Phoenix, Arizona. The
Storyboard Wall of Fame features portraits of Sudanese refugees living in the United States, along with their stories of personal
struggle and redemption. The Wall of Fame was created in honor of the struggles Sudanese people faced due to recent conflict in
Sudan, and was intended to help create a greater sense of community here in the United States where the 'Lost Boys' have resettled.
