With a passion for early care and education for children and families, Kelly has worked in the early childhood field for over 20 years.  Most of her career was spent with Head Start/Early Head Start.  She has used the PAT curriculum in home visiting for over 15 years.  A belief in the effectiveness of home visiting and Parents as Teachers led Kelly to MPHI where she is now a Parents as Teachers Specialist.  There, she serves with her team as the PAT Michigan State Office, supporting affiliates across Michigan.  She is also a PAT National Trainer, meeting the needs of Foundational and Model Implementation Training not only in Michigan but nationally.
