Hi! My name is Natalie Kelly. I was born and raised in Jacksonville, NC. I’ve been happily married for 16 years. We have two boys and a fur baby.  I graduated from UNCW (Go Seahawks) with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education and started my teaching career with Onslow County Schools in 2004 at Parkwood Elementary. I had the pleasure of transferring to Meadow View Elementary in 2009 to continue my teaching career when the school opened its doors for the first time. In 2012 I took a break from teaching after my second son was born, but returned to Onslow County schools in 2015. I spent around 2 years in the Exceptional Children’s Department at Thompson Early Childhood Center and returned to Meadow View in August 2017. Besides being at the ballfield watching my boys play, I am working toward a Masters in Reading back at UNCW. In my spare time I love spending time with my family at the beach and cheering on UNC!
