Kristen Kelly grew up in Broomall, Pa. She majored in Chemistry at La Salle University, graduating with distinguished honors of Maxima Cum Laude. After college, she attended medical school at Drexel University College of Medicine. Kelly is currently applying to residency for OBGYN with the hopes of working in an academic setting. In medical school, she participated in activities such as tutoring and research but also completed the Medical Humanities Scholar Program at Drexel. For her final project as a Medical Humanities Scholar, she incorporated her passions for art and medicine by painting an acrylic piece entitled, Floral Anatomy, inspired by works from the feminist artist Georgia O’Keeffe.
