Kelly's Story

Life What have I been doing since high school? I just returned to Classmates after many years away. The story below is several years old and out-of-date. I will update it soon, as much has changed. My family moved from Bellevue (Sammamish H.S.) to Vashon Island at the end of my junior year. After graduation, I moved back to Bellevue, got married to an Air Force man and was stationed in Denver, Alamogordo, and Tacoma (not the most exotic posts), then divorced in 1985. I continued going to college, but after a few years, I had to cut it short when I had the surprise of becoming a single parent of my son Sebastian (now 17). Instead I began a diverse and often changing career in business administration, graphic design, journalism, marketing, and public relations. I lived in Tacoma, Seattle, Bellevue, Lynnwood, Federal Way (also not very exotic places). In 1991, only a month after our ten-year reunion, I moved my son and I back to Vashon Island. Soon after, I met my wonderful husband, Pete, was married the following year, and had our daughter Anastasia (now 12) the next year. A...Expand for more
fter enduring three layoffs (one per year) in marketing and public relations from Internet startups and dotcoms, I played around with "what do I want to do when I grow up," such as starting a pasta business, writing a novel, painting houses, creating mosaic tiles, being a construction worker. I decided against returning to the world of full-time employment nearly three years ago, and instead ventured out on my own as a business and marketing consultant. My main client (Edison Group) is a technology analyst firm in Manhattan, as well as taking on small projects for local companies, as time allows. I love the lifestyle of working out of my home for the quiet work environment and time with my kids, weekly meetings in the big city of Seattle for people (grownup) interaction, and monthly trips to the much bigger city of NYC for fun and excitement. We enjoy a fabulous existence living on the beach and have been fulfilling my passion for travel: Hawaii, New York, France, Las Vegas, Caribbean, Italy . . . I would love to hear from old classmates and friends, so please contact me!
