Nightingale is led by women who have spent careers inside this work, and in many cases, lived inside it. Every person on this page has chosen to put their name on the door so that a survivor never hears “there is no room” again.
Kelly has spent her career on the front lines of advocacy in Placer, Sacramento, and Nevada Counties, with more than 13 years serving vulnerable populations. She served as Lead Advocate for the Sacramento County SART Team, PREA Advocate for Stand Up Placer, and as a volunteer advocate for the Nevada County District Attorney’s Office.
She managed the Booth Family Center in Grass Valley and served eight years as a CASA with Sacramento and Placer County. She owns and operates a supervised visitation and safe-exchange agency in Placer and Nevada County, and she sits on the Loomis Chamber of Commerce and the Loomis Basin Soroptimist Board.
She founded Nightingale after watching too many advocates run out of options at 2 a.m.
