Kelsey Byrd '13
After college, Kelsey worked on a fishing island in Maine doing community based health. They had a community coalition, taken straight from her geography curriculum, that looked at community solutions for youth substance abuse, aging in place and fitness and nutrition. After two years in Maine she made a career jump to college coaching at Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo, CA. As a college coach, Kelsey engaged in issues of race and class every day working with athletes to help navigate a very privileged and white college campus.
