After experiencing all that Edmonton has to offer, Kelsey fell in love with the hustle and bustle of the city life (still not a huge fan of traffic circles - but who is?). When she isn’t sprucing up smiles, you can find her eating out, rock climbing, relaxing at home, or binge watching the latest true crime series on Netflix.
