Kiely Kingsbury
President
Kiely Kingsbury, our fearless leader is a current Master's student in the IDPT program at Baker University. She's excited about this opportunity to grow our student association and network within the ID community. She's from Kansas City, Kansas, and has completed her Bachelor's in Music Education from the University of Kansas (rock chalk). She began my career as an elementary music teacher, where she honed her passion for creative instruction and effective learning. This inspired her to seek out higher education in the ID field. She transitioned out of teaching and into an instructional design position at a law firm called Morgan & Morgan. This has been an incredible experience where she's applied her knowledge and expertise as an educator. She's always looking for new ways to upskill in the ID field, and is excited to network and grow our ID community at Baker.
