Personal Passions
Outside of work, Kelsey loves spending time with her husband, Charles, and their two sons, Kai and Landon. She especially enjoys cheering her boys on at their sporting events and spending quality time with her family. Whether playing Uno or Skip-Bo with Charles, getting lost in a good book, or finding opportunities to have fun and be a little silly, Kelsey values making memories with the people she loves.
Love for Androscoggin
Kelsey appreciates the many outdoor activities, local restaurants, and community events that make Androscoggin County special. She recommends exploring Mount Apatite for nature walks and gem hunting, spending winter days skiing at Lost Valley, and enjoying a meal at 84 Court, where the welcoming owners make everyone feel like family. She also takes pride in mentoring future leaders at Edward Little High School through the Olympia Snowe Women’s Leadership Institute, helping young women build confidence and develop their leadership skills.
