I never let anybody put me in a box or paint me in a light that I don’t feel like I deserve.
About Kelley
- I come from a family of entrepreneurs.
- Growing up, my parents owned a marketing agency and production studio, where I taught myself skills like graphic design and coding.
- Computer science wasn’t really encouraged in school and I didn’t see myself fitting in with that crowd, so I pursued a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing degree instead.
- After graduating from college, I jumped into corporate America and worked various jobs in marketing and finance.
- When the “Silicon Alley” movement happened in New York, I was able to get back into tech and take classes with people who actually looked like me.
- I got into teaching but realized that it was difficult to teach STEM subjects to adults—I decided I wanted to help introduce these subjects to young children instead.
- My mom and I worked together to create the Paige & Paxton STEM System, which brings STEM curriculum to elementary schools and homes.
- While working on Paige & Paxton, I met my husband—together we founded Blue Studios.io to broadcast STEM education, reaching a larger audience and giving STEM education access to more children.
