Allyson L. Kelley
I am a teacher, wellness advocate, mentor, small business owner, and mother. In my work and teaching, the goal is individual and community transformation. I've written four books: Evaluation in Rural Communities, Public Health Evaluation and the Social Determinants of Health, Treatment Program Evaluation, and Spiritual Healing for Trauma and Addiction. Writing books is one way that I have focused my attention on sharing what I know with the world.
I graduated from the University of Greensboro with a Doctor of Public Health. My journey through academia was about finding out how and why conditions impact wellbeing- the social determinants of health. At UNCG, my mentors, Drs. Aronson, Schultz, Wallace, Morrison, Bell, and Telfair taught me about life and learning. I am a conscious human with a heart for mindfulness, peace, sobriety, and acceptance. I want my students, readers, friends, and foes to know well-being is not an abstract concept that we measure, write on a sticky note, evaluate, research, or practice. Well-being and transformation are about reflective practice, commitment to a higher purpose, and connection.
