Ms. Kelli Nielsen

Ms. Kelli Nielsen is happy to be coming home to Utah after spending the last twelve years in the Midwest, but will always have a special place in her heart for its green forests and Chicago city offerings. She loves to write, and has published several essays and a young adult novel. She starts reading way more books than she finishes, reads several at a time, and sometimes reads the end first. Ms. Nielsen enjoys spending time outdoors and is glad to be hiking and skiing in the mountains again. In her free time, she likes rocking dance parties with her youngest daughter, beating her two teenage boys at basketball and soccer, going to concerts, and watching way too many movies.
