Kelly Stokes

Tell us a bit about your background and how it helped shape the expertise you bring to CAE.
I previously worked in operations, development, and membership at a media arts nonprofit called Pittsburgh Filmmakers, which supported local artists through education, resources, and working space. When I moved to Vermont with my family to pursue a dream of working with the land, I was eager to translate my nonprofit skill set to support the local agricultural economy, which I believe to be one of the most important ways to sustain a future for our community and our planet. I am also excited to use my 20+ years of photography experience to create beautiful images for CAE.

What excites you about your work and/or the work of CAE?
I am excited to support the work of CAE with clear systems of data usage and engaging language, design, and imagery.

What brings you joy? (work or otherwise)
My two kids fill my heart with joy and giggles. I also greatly enjoy analog photography, working with my hands, gardening, flowers, nature, and dogs.

What brings you hope? (work or otherwise)
Working towards a sustainable future for my family, the community, and our planet and working with like-minded folks at CAE who also believe in a bright future brings me hope.
