Kelly joined the Department of Anesthesiology in November 2018 and currently serves as the Compliance Review/Claims Analyst within the billing division. Her career at WashU includes previous roles in the departments of Psychological & Brain Sciences, Orthopedics, and Otolaryngology.

Kelly began her career as a medical coder and was quickly promoted to team lead—a role she held for five years before stepping into her current position. Her responsibilities include auditing billed charges and provider documentation, offering education and training, and running reports to identify and submit missing charges. She especially enjoys supporting her colleagues with complex cases and collaborating with providers to ensure accuracy. Passionate about the ever-evolving nature of medical coding, Kelly thrives on its challenges and continuous learning opportunities.

A lifelong resident of Millstadt, Illinois, Kelly still calls her hometown home, where she lives with two of her three daughters. She previously served as an EMT for the local ambulance service and has a soft spot for animals, sharing her home with three adopted cats: Ash, Cheeseball, and Itty Bitty. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, traveling, trying new foods, working out, and doing puzzles. She’s especially excited about an upcoming trip to Yosemite in April 2025.

Fun fact: Kelly recently became a first-time grandmother! Her daughter MacKenzie and son-in-law Weston welcomed baby Easton in July 2024.
