Kelli was raised in the Chicagoland area where she performs, teaches musical theatre and tries to play the accordion, with mixed results.

She will defend deep dish Chicago-style pizza with her dying breath, has read every Stephen King book written and will give you her definitive thoughts on all of them, particularly if you haven’t asked.

Kelli lives in a cute soundproof apartment with a trumpeter (her boyfriend), and a loud snorer (their pug—thus the soundproofing).
