In her first season with the team, Kelley was part a group of Jets executives responsible for expanding the Jets Women's Organization (JWO) to encompass the many women affiliated with the team, including staff members, wives and significant others of coaches, players, and football personnel. Serving as a unique outlet to positively impact the workplace, industry, and community, the JWO worked with Dress for Success (DFS) Northern NJ, an organization that seeks to empower women with training and a network of support.

Kelley is one of the original members of the team's Social Justice, Diversity and Inclusion Team (SJDIT), with all members serving one-year terms. The team works with players and staff to develop strategies, relationships and programs to best serve the team and its surrounding community. In December of 2020, the SJDIT identified and partnered with four social justice organizations; Kelley continues to actively volunteer as a mentor and contributor to two of those organizations, the All Stars Project and the Innocence Project.

Prior to the Jets, Kelley served as General Counsel of PointsBet USA, where she was the lead counsel for all United States sports book operations and strategic commercial development, working with professional sports leagues while overseeing gaming partnerships, corporate sponsorship contracts, and all federal and state regulatory compliance. She previously served as senior legal counsel for the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation and their Foxwoods Resort Casino, one of the world's largest resort casino hotel properties, providing legal advice on a range of commercial transactions, economic development initiatives, and federal, state and tribal tax and regulatory matters.

Beginning her career with PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2006, Kelley later moved to Withers, LLP as an international tax attorney for eight years. There, she focused on strategic corporate and tax planning for businesses, family offices, investment funds, and private foundations. A graduate of Villanova University, Kelley earned law degrees from Suffolk University Law School (JD) and Boston University Law School (LL.M.). She has also served as an Adjunct Professor of Law at the University of Connecticut School of Law. Kelley was also recognized by NJBIZ magazine as one of their 2021 Leaders in Law.

Kelley resides in Chester, NJ with her husband and their two children, Eli and Violet.
