Kellie is new to the FedEx Office team in Dallas, and is learning what it means to be a Texan. In her free time, she can be found dreaming up home improvement projects, spending time with her fiancé, curled up on the couch with a good book or walking her diametrically opposed dogs Molly, a fluffy little Bichon Frise, and Conrad, a big, goofy Boxer.

But when she does watch TV, she can’t help but indulge in the guilty pleasure of reality shows. Someday, she aspires to finally master “Green Grass, High Tides” on medium in Rock Band.
