Kelli brings a wealth of experience in outreach, design, and marketing, including 17 years leading brand marketing operations at Nike and a background in software product development. More recently, she has supported outreach, trainings, and partner coordination with several local community organizations, including A Greater Applegate, Firebrand Resiliency Collective, and the Williams Community Forest Project, as well as collaborating with the Bureau of Land Management.

Kelli also brings a strong background in sustainable land management, with certifications in Sustainable Landscape Design, Land Stewardship, and Permaculture Design through Oregon State University. 

Kelli has a lifelong love of the outdoors—hiking, backpacking, and growing up climbing trees and riding her horse bareback through open fields. She creates mixed-media art spanning welding, painting, sculpture, and ink-and-watercolor illustration. At home on her land, she shares her days with her two corgis, Mindy and Sage.
