Kelsey came to Metcalfe in 2023 after a decade of working in book publishing, where she led publicity and marketing campaigns for everything from picture books and young adult novels to feminist craft books and pop culture histories.

Kelsey was drawn to Metcalfe’s work with schools, museums, and cultural institutions, as well as the belief that good design is about more than just buildings, it's about people and the human experience. She is a member of Metcalfe's 2030 Committee for creating a more sustainable built environment.

Outside of her role at Metcalfe, Kelsey is also a photographer. She holds a Master of Arts from Oxford Brookes University and a Bachelor of Arts from Juniata College.
