There are some people you meet and immediately think, *”Yep... she’s one of us.”*
That’s Kelly. 💛
If you’ve spent any time around Rochester’s mom community, chances are you’ve already crossed paths with her. She’s the founder of What Moms Want Play & Network, a wife, mom of four boys, community builder, and someone who has spent her entire career creating meaningful experiences that bring people together.
From travel and tourism to hospitality, marketing, event planning, and now building one of the most connected communities for moms in Rochester, Kelly has a gift for making people feel welcome, seen, and connected. Honestly... it’s kind of her superpower.
Which is exactly why I’m so excited to finally share this with all of you...
Kelly is officially joining The Hive as my partner in crime. 🐝
She’ll be leading our events, community outreach, sponsorships, and helping us create even more opportunities for women to connect, collaborate, and build genuine relationships here at The Hive.
The truth is, Kelly and I are complete opposites in all the best ways. Where one of us sees details, the other sees possibilities. Where one of us dreams, the other builds the bridge to make it happen. Together, it just... works.
I’ve always believed The Hive was meant to be more than a coworking space. It’s a place where women find community, friendships, support, opportunities, and sometimes even the next chapter of their lives.
Having Kelly step into this role feels less like a business partnership and more like the missing puzzle piece to our family finally finding its place.
I truly can’t wait for you to get to know her.
Welcome to The Hive, Kelly. I have a feeling we’re going to build something pretty special together. 💛
