Kelly Lynch joined the administrative staff of the Seattle University athletic department in the summer of 2006. Her duties include assisting Athletic Director Bill Hogan and Associate Athletic Director Eric Guerra with several of their duties as well as helping Seattle's coaches and other administrators with budget issues and other office efficiencies.
Lynch moved to Seattle from Chicago, Illinois, where she was the Student Coordinator at the UIC School of Public Health. She designed and implemented a tracking system of prospective students, provided direct administrative support to the academic coordinator, faculty, and students, and assisted with an admissions process that included over 200 applications. She has volunteered for the BABES Network in Seattle, where she organized donations, prepared hot meals and provided child care for evening groups, and provided administrative support as needed.
Lynch plans to enroll in the Master of Public Administration program at Seattle University to continue her career working for either non-profit groups or for institutions of higher learning. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in anthropology from DePaul University in Chicago in November 2003. Kelly was the 2008 recipiant of the Mark Escandon Sports Service Award which is given out annually at the student-athletes award show.
