Field Museum Corporate Membership

Prior to the Field Museum, Kelsey was the Manager of Corporate Partnerships at the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation (PFF), a nonprofit organization committed to advancing improved care of patients with PF and providing unequaled support and education resources. In this role, Kelsey cultivated and maintained a roster of over 30 high-value corporate partners, ensuring consistent stewardship and benefit fulfillment, as well as performing prospect research, event management, and grant reporting.

Previous to the PFF, Kelsey spent 8 years at Cooney & Conway (C&C) where she served as the Medicare & Lien Resolution Paralegal.  In her role at C&C, Kelsey resolved all liens for asbestos-related personal injury lawsuits, filing written appeals, negotiating reduced payments, and participating in Administrative Hearings on behalf of plaintiffs. It was here that Kelsey honed the detail-oriented, persistent, and creative approach to her work, which has served her across multiple fields and positions in her career.

She has performed and choreographed for multiple theaters and dance companies in the Chicagoland area, securing a Non-Equity Jeff Award Nomination for Best Choreography in 2014.
