Kelly Azevedo
Fredonia Area Community Foundation,
Associate Director
Kelly Azevedo was born in Wichita and raised in California before moving to Fredonia in 2020. She holds a Bachelors in Business Management and Communications from Liberty University where she competed on the debate team. After ranking 4th nationally in her division for 3 years, Kelly transitioned to helping coach novice debaters and fell in love with teaching others how to succeed.
Kelly started her career in construction management and accounting working with firms around California where she lived to take care of aging grandparents. In 2009, she began working virtually for online businesses who needed structure and support but did not live locally.
For the past 15 years, Kelly has owned and managed a coaching and consulting business, working with hundreds of entrepreneurs from all over the world. Specializing in business systems, marketing and creating compelling stories, Kelly is excited to use her skills to share the message of the Community Foundation and grow its impact in Fredonia.
When she’s not working, Kelly is busy renovating her 120-year old home and training (or trying to!) her new dachshund puppy who loves Zoom calls and acting as the official office shredder of any paper that falls within his reach.
