ABOUT PLS

With nearly 30 years of professional experience spanning international nonprofit organizations, educational technology, education, and behavioral services, Kelly brings a unique perspective to clinical leadership and individualized learning.

Kelly began her career in citizen diplomacy with the United States Information Agency (USIA) International Visitor Program, followed by policy and chapter support for an international homestay organization founded by President Jimmy Carter. She later worked in educational technology as a technical writer and marketing communications manager before transitioning into classroom teaching.

As a licensed educator, Kelly taught middle and high school language arts, speech/debate and writing and became a grief support group facilitator with Rainbows for All Children. She also designed and produced two statewide conferences in 2016 and 2017 to train teachers in supporting students with disabilities.

In 2017, Kelly became Board Certified in Behavior Analysis, became a certified PEERS® provider, and founded PLS Therapy & Learning Center. Initially offering social skills programs, dyslexia tutoring, and homeschool support, the center expanded to include ABA therapy in 2018. PLS Therapy Services was established in 2020 to support the organization's continued growth.

Today, Kelly leads PLS's clinical services, Bridge Programs, and expansion into Georgia, continuing her commitment to combining education, behavioral science, and practical life skills to help children build independence.
