“Kelly started her term as President of Quaker Notes in spring of 2020 just a few months before the pandemic and has worked so hard to help QNotes through COVID both during her term and after. Kelly always made sure to incorporate fun events and games into rehearsal to make sure that we still kept the amazing community aspects of QNotes alive despite being remote. She also would always be sure to check in on us all with going over our rose, buds, and thorns of the week at the start of rehearsal and constantly brought so much positive energy to rehearsal, even during really challenging weeks of classwork. During my transition to becoming President, Kelly has continued to be a really amazing resource, long past when I was “officially” given the position. I know that I can always count on her for guidance, and she’s always so quick to respond to any and all questions I have (even when they’re not about Quaker Notes). She’s always the first person to like my message in the GroupMe and the first person to log on at rehearsal, and she’s so incredibly supportive of everyone in the group. We are all so lucky to have her!!”
