Comedy & Classes

After ten years teaching fourth, fifth and sixth graders, Kelly Wilson took advantage of the opportunity for a career change to work from home as a mom and freelance writer, publishing Live Cheap and Free! Strategies to Thrive in Tough Economic Times and working as a project manager for a local internet marketing company.

Through this transition, Kelly Wilson also began exploring the world of comedy and whether or not she’s funny, as well as designing her own couponing classes to help those in her community live frugally in the Portland metropolitan area.
