Born on October 24, 1964 in Spain at Naval Station Rota, Kelly lived in a variety of places before her family settled in Rome, NY. She graduated from Westmoreland Central School in 1982 and went on to pursue her dream of becoming a Physical Education Teacher at Mohawk Valley Community College, earning her Associate's Degree in Physical Education in 1987, and the State University of New York at Cortland where she completed her Bachelor's Degree in Physical Education in 1989 and Master's Degree in Health Education in 1995.
