Kelly is gepassioneerd door continu leren, op het werk en in het leven. Met een sterke achtergrond in interactieve en gegamificeerde leerervaringen focust ze bij Continu Professionals op de groei en ontwikkeling van medewerkers. Ze gelooft dat echte groei begint bij zelfbewustzijn: begrijpen waarom je doet wat je doet, je sterktes herkennen en patronen opmerken die je mogelijk tegenhouden. Vanuit die basis wordt leren écht transformerend.
