From an early age Kelly Ann was drawn to creative pursuits. In primary school she started singing opera and subsequently found a home in the San Francisco Bay Area’s underground music scene as a young adult. In 2016 after tragedy befell this beloved community she committed herself to become a chaplain.

Kelly Ann returned to school to receive a BA in Religious Studies in 2020 and a Master of Divinity concurrent to interfaith ordination in 2024. From 2020 to 2023 Kelly Ann served as a director at San Francisco Night Ministry a multi-faith nonprofit that provides spiritual care, crisis support, and compassionate presence to those in need. Kelly Ann led aspects of the organization’s spiritual care programming ensuring it provided safe, compassionate, and nurturing support by volunteers and chaplaincy students.

In 2022 Kelly Ann was hired as a per diem hospital chaplain and she was promoted to full time in 2023. Kelly Ann brings a Jungian perspective to her chaplaincy as this was a primary focus of her studies in seminary. She continued to pursue the intersection of chaplaincy and Jungian theory as a 2024 Hilda Mason teaching fellow where she developed and taught a graduate level course on Jung’s conception of Active Imagination in conjunction with chaplaincy.

In 2025 Kelly Ann enrolled in a Jungian coaching program and began to grow her private practice. Kelly Ann has been recognized for her accomplishments as a 2023 featured CSU Alum and her writing on interfaith dialogue in hospital settings was featured in The Tapestry journal. Presently Kelly Ann sits on the board for "Temple of the Forgotten", a non-profit committed to helping communities transform their approach to homelessness. She continues to perform musically and has curated offerings with "Reimagine End of Life Festival", "Yellow Fish Durational Art Festival", "Garden of Memory" and most recently with San Francisco Theological Seminary's "Sacred Sound Series".
