Kelli is a financial analyst by trade, but a performer at heart. She has performed, directed, and stage managed many shows throughout Portland and Clackamas County.
Kelli most recently performed as Chris in “Rumors” at Sandy Actors Theatre in the fall of 2022. Some other favorite roles she has had the pleasure of playing are Scuttle in “The Little Mermaid”, and Sponge in “James and The Giant Peach with Oregon City Children’s Theatre”. Her directorial credits include “Lend Me A Tenor” at Sandy Actors Theatre, and “Sticky Situations” with Garage Door Theatre.
Kelli has been married to her high-school sweetheart for almost 29 years and they both enjoy game nights and adventures with their adult sons and daughter-in law. She also enjoys building sets with her husband, twin sister, and brother-in-law at local theatres and Gladstone High School.
Kelli has worked with Life In Arts Productions in the past — appearing in staged readings, and she was an integral part of the Zoom Play Reading Group which brought the company together during the Pandemic, and is now so excited to be a part of the Of Mice And Men production team.
“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.”
— Jack Kerouac
