Kelly graduated with her MSN in midwifery from the University of Colorado in 2021. Prior to joining the CU College of Nursing, Center for Midwifery, she was a nurse for 12 years working in multiple specialties including oncology and hospice as well as labor and delivery and women’s health. These experiences have shaped her into a well-rounded provider who enjoys caring for patients. Kelly has a special interest in mental health and is pursuing the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner program in the fall. In addition, she is enrolled in the Doctor of Nursing program at the University of Colorado.
Kelly is passionate about supporting health and healing through providing a supportive birth experience, personal connection, shared decision-making, open communication, empowerment, and evidence-based care. She believes it is a privilege and an honor to serve her community in such a nurturing way.
Outside of midwifery, Kelly enjoys yoga, camping and hiking, reading and hanging out with her husband, three children (17, 8 and 6) and dog.
Bachelor's in Nursing: Traditional Pathway
The Traditional Pathway is a full-time, 24-month Bachelor of Science option, designed for students who may or may not have earned a degree in the past. This program includes classroom, clinical simulation, and clinical practice as part of the curriculum. The Traditional Pathway program will be primarily offered at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora. However, Traditional students may be required to attend some classes or labs at the CU South Denver location in Lone Tree. Students interested in the Traditional Pathway option apply through NursingCAS before the application deadline. Once admitted, students begin their program the following summer semester. The pace of the Traditional Pathway facilitates the integration of learning and acknowledges that students balance a number of responsibilities while completing their nursing education. However, please note that this is a full-time program of study; many students find it difficult to work more than 10-20 hours per week.
