Kelsey chose the field of occupational therapy due to her strong passion for helping others, specifically children. Kelsey has always found great enjoyment in spending time with kids due to their positive outlook on life and continued reminders of the importance of “playing” every day. Originally from Minnesota, Kelsey received her Master of Science in Occupational Therapy at The College of St. Scholastica. Prior to working at NAPA, Kelsey started working as a travel therapist, which then turned into working in the skilled nursing setting for five years. While enjoying her time there, she frequently found herself missing working with children, ultimately landing her dream job here at NAPA! When not at NAPA, Kelsey enjoys spending time with her two golden retrievers, hiking, skiing, cooking, traveling to visit friends and family throughout the country, and spending as much time as possible up in the mountains
