Kelsey grew up in Union City, a small town in west Tennessee. She went to college at the University of Mississippi (Hotty Toddy!) where she earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology. During college, many of her extracurriculars revolved around working with children such as volunteering with Ronald McDonald House Charities and tutoring school aged children. Following college, she attended medical school in east Kentucky, where her passion for pediatrics was solidified. Kelsey is excited to be back in Tennessee and join the Vanderbilt community!

Outside of medicine, Kelsey enjoys reading a good book, watching Ole Miss football and baseball, cooking, and hosting game nights with friends.
