Background

About Kellie Parry

After two decades of raising a family and serving my community through leadership and volunteer roles, I’m re-entering the workforce with a deep commitment to supporting mission-driven institutions—especially in higher education. My background includes owning and operating a successful photography business, serving in administrative leadership roles for school and youth organizations, and teaching photography at the TRIO Upward Bound Summer Academy. Across these experiences, I’ve developed strong skills in communication, event coordination, document management, and stakeholder engagement—all essential to supporting academic leadership and operations. I’m tech-savvy (Microsoft O365, Google Workspace, Adobe Creative Suite, Mailchimp, CRM tools), detail-oriented, and experienced in handling confidential and sensitive information with professionalism and care. Whether it’s managing executive calendars, supporting committee work, or coordinating community-focused events, I bring a warm, reliable presence and a clear focus on purpose and people. I’m especially motivated by environments that value equity, education, and service—and I’m excited to contribute to an academic community where those values are at the core.
