The blond beauty, who lives in Keokuk, is no stranger to the stage. Kelly graduated from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2017 with a degree in directing and theater management. In September 2017, she had an internship on Broadway with the Manhattan Theatre Club.

这位金发美女现居基奥卡克，她对舞台并不陌生。2017年凯莉从内布拉斯加州林肯大学毕业，获得导演和舞台管理学位。同年9月她从曼哈顿戏剧俱乐部获得了一份在百老汇的实习机会。

Kelly says theater was not only an outlet to help her express herself, but it eventually became her chosen career path.

凯莉说，戏剧不仅是她表达自我的渠道，还会是她最终选择的职业道路。

“As I grew older, I learned to offset the initial stares I received … with an outgoing personality that would not give in to ‘No,’ she writes. “This meant that I tried everything! From baseball, to dance to diving, there was nothing I would not try. I found my passion within a world where I was giving people permission to stare … the stage.”

她写道：“随着我渐渐长大，我学会了坦然对待他人投来的异样目光……我性格外向，从不说‘不’；我做过各种事情，从垒球到舞蹈到潜水，我都尝试过，在舞台上我找到了自己的热情，我可以坦然面对人们对我的注视。”
