Kelly Donaghy

When I retire, I’m going to…

Travel. If it doesn’t happen beforehand, a cycling tour of Tuscany and the Italian countryside would be high up on the list.

Where did I grow up? Where do I live now?

I grew up in northern NJ then attended/graduated from college in NC, which ultimately brought me to the Asheville area where I currently live.

When I’m not working, I’m…

Getting outside and enjoying the beautiful mountains of western NC and its surrounding areas. Whether on foot or on bike, I feel very fortunate to have endless trails to explore right outside my back door.

What’s the best career advice I ever got? 

The best advice I ever received was to be grateful for what you have, be respectful of others, and make the best out of every day.
