In her previous role, Kellie was the Online Community Manager for PCWorld.com and Macworld.com. In this role, she was responsible for setting the community-building strategies, managing the relationships with community software vendors, and interacting with the community members on both sites. She also managed all member created content on both sites, including blogs and blog comments, product reviews, and wiki knowledge base. She was responsible for all interactive features of both sites, including polls and user contests. She managed the PC World “Letters to the Editor” inbox and edited the “PCW Forum” section of PC World magazine each month.

In her personal life, Kellie is an avid foodie, a road trip addict, a live music fan, and a member of Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority. Kellie rarely misses a Saturday at her local farmers market, and loves to try new recipes and cook for people. She sees her favorite bands in concert as much as possible (and is willing to travel for shows). She has a love for kitschy roadside attractions, such as the world’s largest office chair or a building shaped like the front of a pink Cadillac. She is a national officer with Tri Sigma, working to help collegiate women have the best sorority experience possible.
