Kelsey was often referred to as the “quarterback” of her teams due to her leadership skills in the different sports that she played at FHS. Volleyball Coach Karen Arsenault referred to Kelsey as “a quiet leader who led by example on and off the court and as a dependable, consistent player who took charge of the offense”. Kelsey was a three sport athlete, playing volleyball, softball and basketball and was the captain of each of those sports in her senior year.
Kelsey was the starting center fielder for her varsity softball team, batting over .400 in all four seasons. She was selected as a South Coast Conference
All-Star all four years. She also started on the varsity basketball team all four years and finished her high school career with 951 points. She was a SouthCoast Conference All-Star all four years and a Standard Times All-Star for three seasons.
When asked what stood out for Kelsey during her high school athletic career, she stated, “it was great that Kayli (Moniz), Kara (Charette) and I had all played CYO basketball together since we were 8 or 9, so we had a lot of experience working together. We all also played softball together growing up which helped us really gel as teammates”.
In her freshman year of high school, Kelsey decided to try volleyball. Her only previous experience was that her mom played and had taught her some skills. Kelsey quickly became a setter and was a 4-year starter. She ended her career with 1,060 assists (6th in the state assists leader), 161 aces (ranked 9th in the state Division 2 aces leader), 1,345 digs (ranked 11th in the state Division 2 digs leader), 190 kills and 108 blocks. She finished her senior season with a 20-5 record. She was named as a South Coast Conference All-Star as well as a Standard Times All-Star for 2 seasons.
After graduation, Kelsey went to Eastern Connecticut State University and played softball for one fall season. She transferred to UMass Dartmouth after one semester and her athletic career ended there. She studied mathematics and currently works as a staff accountant at Harvard University. She lives in Watertown, MA with her wife who is expecting their first child in July.
