Kelly received her law degree from Creighton University and has been practicing law since 1995. Kelly’s commitment to protecting the rights of employees in Nebraska is illustrated by over 20 years of litigation experience, including claims involving wrongful termination, disability discrimination, sexual harassment, and more.

Kelly is a member of the National Employment Lawyers Association and serves as the 8th Circuit Representative from Nebraska. Kelly has past experience as the President of the Nebraska Employment Lawyer’s Association and is a former member of the Minority in Justice Commission.

He also serves as the Operations Director for Nebraska Juniors Volleyball Club. Kelly’s free time is spent running a youth volleyball program in Gretna with her husband and keeping up with her three daughters’ busy, fun lives. And, of course, watching a lot of volleyball.
