Introducing Coach Kelly, Speech-Language Pathologist
Qi Creative is excited to welcome Kelly Cassan to the Team!
Kelly is a life-long learner who is dedicated to empowering others.
She believes connection and communication provide the necessary foundation to allow people develop to their fullest potential. She feels incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to work together with children and families and is honoured to be part of their journey.
“Wow, so much has changed in the month since I started! Everyone has been so welcoming and supportive as we adjust to the recent changes in our professions, our day to day lives, and our world. I have loved meeting children, families, and colleagues over our video visits - I cannot wait to leave the house and meet everyone in person! ”
Kelly’s career path began at the age of fifteen when she became a respite worker in rural Manitoba.
The children and families she worked with touched her heart and encouraged her to pursue a career supporting people with diverse needs. She graduated from Minot State University in with her Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology and moved to Alberta. For the next eleven years, Kelly had the opportunity to work with amazing children, families, and colleagues in early-childhood and school-based settings.
Along the way she learned to find joy and wonder in each day, as well as the importance of play and playfulness. In her spare time she enjoys reading, playing piano, spending quality time with her friends and family, hanging out with her pets, playing cards/board games, going for walks and volunteering with her dog.
“I have already learned a great deal from collaborating with families and coaches, and I am continuously inspired by their creativity, dedication, and passion. I am grateful for the amazing leadership and positivity at Qi Creative, encouraging me to be the best version of myself. I am honored to be part of this energizing, incredible, awe-inspiring team as we celebrate and support one another!”
