Kelly was the co-founder of women’s recovery and outpatient centers in Arizona and worked with the National Association of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Counselors to achieve mental health treatment parity in insurance coverage. Kelly earned a bachelors and a doctorate from UCLA where she also graduated from the UCLA School of Dentistry. She worked in the mental health and substance abuse treatment field to ensure that women’s issues were addressed and remains active in the recovery community in both Palm Springs and Sequim, Washington.
