About Kelly
I am currently a Realtor in Columbus, and formerly was a Manager of Athletic Events at Harvard University in Boston for 4 years.

Community Involvement and Interests
I help with Meals on Wheels once a month, help with Dublin Youth Athletics, enjoy hanging out with friends and family, attend numerous sporting events around town, play sand volleyball in the summer/fall, and coach a girls basketball camp in the summer.

What does Columbus offer young professionals?
Columbus is a haven for young professionals with so much to choose from. You can attend professional or collegiate sporting events, concerts, plays, go to bars/clubs, restaurants, shopping malls, parks and walking trails, boating, skiing, camping, ziplining - you name it and chances are you can find it in/around Columbus.

What do you hope members get out of their involvement in the CYP CLUB?
I hope people make tons of new friends, meet new business contacts, try new restaurants, see different parts of town, try new things, and overall just have fun with a group of people who all have common interests of being in the CYP CLUB.

Why did you join the CYP CLUB?
To meet new people and be a part of something new and exciting. I moved back to Columbus in 2006 after living in Boston for 4 years and it's hard to meet a bunch of new people after college/grad school. The CYP CLUB offered a chance to make new friends and try new things!

What's your favorite CYP CLUB event and why?
The CYP CLUB Cruise for sure! It's a blast. Who doesn't need a vacation from Ohio in the winter?! It's a nice getaway, you get to meet a whole new group of people, enjoy shore excursions off the ship in different countries, eat awesome food, gamble, see comedians, soak up the rays, dance the night away, and pamper yourself - all in one place!!

How would you describe Columbus?
A young, vibrant city with something for everyone. For the young in age or the young at heart, this city is great for everyone. It's a great place to lay some roots and settle down long term. It's a fantastic midwestern city that appeals to a lot of different people for a lot of different reasons.
