Professional Summary

Kelli has worked as an Occupational Therapist since 2004 after graduating from Creighton University with her Doctorate Degree. Her role as a school-based OT at the Munroe-Meyer Institute started in 2014, but her time at MMI began in 1996 when she began volunteering at the Recreational Therapy Camp, Camp Monroe. Kelli’s OT career began in Lincoln, NE at the pediatric outpatient clinic Handprints and Footprints, but lead her back to Omaha for a time at ProCare 3.  She provided skilled OT services to both children and adults in work, school, daycare and aquatic settings with ProCare 3. In 2007, a career move for her husband took her to St. Louis, MO where she worked for 7 years at PS Kids, a private, outpatient pediatric clinic.  She moved home in 2014 and returned to her roots at the Munroe-Meyer Institute.  Kelli has worked with individuals across the lifespan, but has a strong passion for working with children.  She truly enjoys her current role with MMI serving pre-school, elementary and middle school students in the Omaha Public Schools system.
