Kelly grew up cooking and baking and has had a passion for food ever since she was young. She also has a sweet tooth, so she decided to pursue a career in pastry. She graduated from the French Pastry School in Chicago and has worked at hotels, restaurants and bakeries. Kelly always wanted to share her knowledge of culinary arts with people, which led her to The Chopping Block. When she's not teaching, she likes to garden and enjoy nature and her animals.
