Inspiring Comfort Welcomes Sales and Marketing Manager Kelly Shannon to the Team

October 6, 2021 (Great Falls, VA) — Inspiring Comfort, the pioneer in establishing Comfort as a teachable skill, is pleased to announce that Kelly Shannon has joined the team as the Sales & Marketing Manager.

Kelly Shannon (she/her, they/them) believes in the power of care, connection, and creativity in shaping the world, and has dedicated her life and career to doing so. Kelly graduated from Muhlenberg College with a dual degree in English and Theatre, with a focus in Performance Studies - seeing human behavior through the lens of performance.

With this focus, Kelly spent three years working and training with Double Edge Theatre, an experimental theatre company, farm, and art community center whose mission is to prioritize imagination in times of creative, emotional, spiritual, and political uncertainty. At Double Edge, she witnessed first-hand how art brings community together. Within that community, she sharpened her creative eye while working within devising, physical theatre, design, archiving, outreach, and facilitation.

Kelly started her work with Inspiring Comfort in early 2019, right before the launch of Paws to Comfort, coordinating marketing and fundraising initiatives and creating content. She is thrilled to be back with the Inspiring Comfort team as their Sales and Marketing Manager!

Comfort, Kelly believes, is not a passive noun, but an actionable verb, capable of transforming and connecting people and communities across the globe. She lives in Philadelphia, PA with her best friend and their two darling kittens, who teach her lessons in comfort every day.

“We at Inspiring Comfort are so excited to have Kelly on the team as we ramp up new programs and expand our mission of equipping people with the skill of comfort. She is perfect for what we need in every aspect,” says Jen Marr, Founder and CEO of Inspiring Comfort.
