Kelly has worked in operation management for over 10 years as well as sales management and has overseen teams of over 200 people. She decided that it was time for a change and to find a position that dealt more with helping people. She believes God led her to Pilgrims' Friend Society as she says she has found the perfect balance with work and practicing her Christian faith at the same time.
Kelly has two grown up children and, although she is a Geordie originally from Wallsend, she has been living in Cumbria for 39 years.
She says, “Working at Emmaus House, Whitehaven has made me look at life through different eyes and gives meaning to Philippians 4:13; 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me'."
