Kelli has had a love for animals for a long time. When she was younger, she started out working at pet stores and doggy daycares. She eventually got a job at the Humane Society, where she was for the last three years. She assisted in adoptions, daycare, and grooming.

In her spare time, Kelli volunteers her time working with animal rescues and fostering baby animals. Kelli has three dogs: a bullmastiff mix named Porkchop, and two pitbulls named Lexi and Juice.
