“It's rare to find someone with as much creative ambition as Kelly. I had the pleasure of managing her for over two years on my photo team at George Street Photo & Video, and the privilege of collaborating with her on various marketing projects. Kelly and I initially bonded over our mutual backgrounds in photography, but I soon learned that she had so much more to bring to the table. Not only was she a gifted photographer, but an outstanding photo retoucher, content creator, designer, and critical thinker. She was capable of tackling projects outside of her comfort zone and embraced any challenge that was thrown her way. I also always appreciated her sense of adventure and love for travel -- her travel photography is stunning! Kelly would be a true asset to any creative team and comes with my earnest recommendation. Any company would be lucky to have her!”

Digital Marketing Manager - George Street Photo & Video

“Kelly and I met in 2017 while I was managing at Standard Bar & Grill in Wicker Park. She was hired as the principle photographer for an event I was coordinating. This is when I truly got an understanding of her passion and incredible eye for photography. Coincidentally, years later, she was hired at Devereaux where I was managing at the time. It was always a pleasure working with Kelly throughout my time at Devereaux. With Kelly you knew exactly what you were going to get; someone who is respectful, cooperative, impartial, assiduous, and dedicated. Kelly was always willing to go the extra mile for us to succeed, whether that would be coming in early and staying late, picking up extra shifts and taking on duties that were not asked or expected. Kelly is a hard working team player and someone I would without hesitation work with again. Given the opportunity I believe Kelly would be a positive addition to any team.”

Adam Norbut
Assistant General Manager - Devereaux

“I have known Kelly for seven years professionally, and about just as long as a friend. That alone speaks loads about who Kelly is as a person. Not once in my professional career working with Kelly did I feel that I wasn’t given the support or advice needed to complete an assignment. Furthermore, I have always felt comfortable confiding in Kelly whenever challenges were presented to me, both in and out of the office. Kelly’s resources and work ethic prove to be invaluable; the type any career-minded team player strives for. Kelly’s attention to detail, passion for success and compassion make her a truly sought-after individual. I believe that any company who would offer her a position would benefit beyond their expectations.”
