Smiling, energetic, driven... Kelly Calabrese lives each day as a creative spirit. She began performing in children's theatre at the age of 7 and takes ongoing acting classes in NYC. She studied improv at The People's Improv Theater (The PIT NYC), performed on their house team, appeared in many comedy sketches, independent short films, and has written her own one woman murder mystery called "Wasn't Me." In addition to acting, Kelly received a BA in Creative Writing from Binghamton University as well as a BA in Psychology. Currently, Kelly is a spokesperson for AT&T, and an on-camera host for NYCastings.com and Hollyscoop TV. She interviews celebrities while learning how to NOT trip on the red carpet.
