Kelsey began working with shelter animals in 2010. She got her start like many in the industry: cleaning poo at a veterinary office. That launched a career in animal welfare communications, working for organizations like the SPCA of Texas and PetSmart Charities. After a few years working as a social media specialist for many big brands at an advertising agency, she found her way home to animal welfare. Kelsey now works as the Development Manager for Operation Kindness in Dallas, serving as the sole social media manager and special events manager for the organization. She also currently serves as a marketing advisor to Villa Michelle in Puerto Rico, alongside Maddie’s Fund and HSUS. Being a millennial, she and social media have grown up together, and she loves sharing the do’s and don’ts of the social world with others.
