Kelly joined JPM Consulting in the fall of 2013 as a Sr. Researcher and is now fully involved in the recruiting process. She began her career in the Executive Training program with Von Maur, an upscale department store chain, where she was exposed to all facets of the business, from Management to Warehousing to Buying. Upon completing the program she was promoted to a Manager where she gained P&L responsibility and led a team of 20. Eventually she relocated to Omaha, NE to assist with the opening of a flagship store, which brought along the added responsibility of interviewing, hiring and training over 300 new associates.

In 1998, Kelly changed her career focus to marketing at American Business Information where she managed Direct Mail Campaigns, Market Research and Catalog Printing. She then worked for Clarion Direct, a global direct marketing agency, where she managed a portion of the B2B Advertising Accounts for Southwestern Bell and Call Interactive. These accounts eventually led her to Rodgers Townsend, a full-service marketing communications agency. She gained added experience in Billboard, Radio and Commercial Advertising while continuing to manage the Southwestern Bell account and adding the St. Louis Rams and multiple non-profit organizations.
