Greetings!

Hello Class! My name is Kely Blackburn and I reside in the beautiful Central Coast of California. I’m currently a senior working on my BA in Letters, Arts and Sciences with a concentration in Educational Leadership, with a graduation potential of this summer! So starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have been employed with a local school district working with students with special needs going on three years and head coach two girls basketball teams (Middle School and Varsity levels). Eventually, I look to get my Teaching Credential in Multiple Subjects and Science, as well as complete my Masters in Educational Leadership which will enable me to reach my goal of working in an administrative/leadership role in education. A favorite leadership quote of mine was one by the Great Communicator, Ronald Reagan, “The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one that gets the people to do the greatest things.” I believe whole heartily that leaders are there to inspire and encourage greatness among those around them. I am happily married and have three adorable fur babies, (Lovek, a 4yrs old Aussie, and Charlie and Joey, his kitty cat brothers). My husband and I love the outdoors, walks on the beach, hikes in the mountains and enjoying time with close friends and family.
