Kellie is a proud graduate of the University of Georgia, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in public relations and minor in fashion merchandising. After interning with SSG during the summer of 2014, she spent nearly three years in the fast-paced world of event-based, agency PR in Atlanta. Life then took her on a three-year adventure to Savannah with her husband where she served as a regional marketing manager for over 30 general and specialty dental practices located across Georgia, South Carolina and Texas. Kellie boomeranged back to SSG in late 2020 and has since focused on providing her clients with strategic vision, impactful results and relational service, whether it’s through the lens of public relations, copywriting, content creation or anything needing a little wordsmithing — a.k.a. a little umph. When she’s not one step ahead of herself in directing strategies for her clients, you can find Kellie on the hunt for her next vinyl gem, finding any excuse to be outside with her family and friends on a nice day, or loving on her furbaby, Rye, and actual baby girl, Lenny.

I totally nerd out over: finding a cool coffee mug to commemorate every vacation. 

Best advice I’ve ever received: Be kind, always, to yourself and others. 

I’m an expert at: cooking for 20, although we’re a party of two + a baby. 

Walk-Up Song: “Born to Be Wild” by Steppenwolf. Growing up, my dad and I would always jam out to this song in the car on high volume. When I got married, we got on stage and rocked out to it together – it was a little too untraditional for the daddy/daughter dance, though 🙂 

Why SSG? The leadership, culture and opportunities that allow me to be my most creative self and to grow both personally and professionally.
