Kelly Bushey

Director

For Kelly, the creation of Connected Circles is a life-long dream and journey coming to fruition!

Long passionate about teens and young adults with challenging behavior, Kelly has years of experience that began with a Master’s Degree from UVM in Special Education with a concentration in Emotional Disturbance. She has advanced learning in trauma-informed practices and leadership training. She holds licensure as a Superintendent, Principal, and as Special Education teacher and served as the Special Education Director of a local school district for over 10 years.

When Kelly isn’t actively advocating and supporting the students she serves, you will find her on the water in her kayak and/or spending time with her teenage daughter.
