Kelly Marsh was a Founding Board Member of Sarasota Academy of the Arts and is now the Parent Liaison. Two of Kelly's younger children are in middle school year. She will be representing Sarasota Academy of the Arts parents at Board Meetings, but is no longer a voting board member. She holds her Bachelor of Science from the University of Florida in Commercial Recreation and focused her career on Facilities Management. After working in that field, Kelly made a switch to the computer science industry where she spent over 10 years. In 2008, her third child was diagnosed with a rare and life threatening disease called Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), and subsequently went on to needing a bone marrow transplant. Since her daughter’s successful recovery, she has been advocating for families around the world who are newly diagnosed, and helping them get to the right treatment center for this specialized and rare disease. She also is a Volunteer Ambassador for the National Marrow Donor Program (www.bethematch.org) and helps with their awareness campaigns, as well as educating the public on the need for blood donors, and is an avid supporter of Suncoast Blood Bank. Kelly is an active volunteer for multiple organizations as well as the Sarasota schools where her children attend. Kelly’s support and organizational skills are a tremendous asset to SAA.
