As ORP’s Events & Marketing Coordinator, Kaylee creates exciting events, assists with fundraising, spreads awareness about ORP by managing its social media, and helps with communications and graphic design that showcase ORP’s mission and programs. She joined ORP in June 2021 and it has been a career high to work with the leading nonprofit in oyster restoration.

Kaylee has lived in Maryland her entire life but would love one day to move to Portugal and help facilitate a Shell Recycling Program in Southern Europe. She graduated from UMBC and has since contributed to meaningful nonprofit missions like animal welfare and parks and recreation. When she isn’t working, she loves to be outside (hiking, biking, kayaking – especially anything near the water!), traveling and exploring new towns or cities with a passion for culinary arts, live music (Phish is her church), and sports (Go O’s! Go Ravens!).  Kaylee currently lives in Towson with her husband Zach, Australian Shepherd named Finn, and all-white cat, Nershi.
