Kelly Napoli

I grew up in a small town called Rippey in Iowa and graduated from East Greene High School. I stayed very busy growing up with dance, sports, music, youth group, and other organizations.

After high school I attended Simpson College in Indianola, IA and double majored in French and Corporate Communications. Life didn't slow down though! I joined Kappa Kappa Gamma my Freshmen year and eagerly got involved with my first offce that year. I also managed to compete in track and field, sing in the Women's Chorale, and work a part-time job to save up for my study-abroad.

My junior year took me to Grenoble, France for the spring semester. I was the only student from Simpson on my trip, and so I was able to get completely immersed in the city and culture. I lived with a host family who did not speak English, and learned to communicate with my Chinese & Filipino classmates in French.

During my four years at Simpson I was lucky enough to meet the love of my life, and now husband, Ryan. After college we moved to Fargo, ND and have started to create a very happy life here. We adopted our first puppy named Jewel from the Homeward Animal Shelter - she's half boxer, half lab and 100% energy. We got married in July of 2014 back in Iowa and try to make as many trips home as possible to be with our families.
