Kellie Shea, educator since February 29th, 2016
This person’s favourite holiday is St.Patrick’s day. With a last name like Shea, I don’t think she has much choice.
Formally known as Kellie Shea from Campbell’s Bay, her even cooler married name is Kellie Kelly.
Kellie is a mother of 2 beautiful girls. She has an amazing singing voice and has shown us her skills playing a ukulele.
Kellie is very creative. Whether we need a decorator, hair stylist or someone to make a cake look beautiful, she’s the one we want!
Kellie has a big heart and we are lucky that she’s a part of our team.
