Meet Kelli

Kelli lives in Springfield, is a proud mother of two beautiful daughters- an 18 month old and a child due in April 2021. Prior to the pandemic, she worked at the Eugene Airport. She enjoyed meeting people from all over the world and hearing about their journeys.  

Some of her favorite parts of working in customer service is being helpful and resolving the customer’s problems, whatever they may be. The laptop will be a huge asset in her life. Due to the shutdown of so many services and school opportunities, she had been trying to take care of all those needs while using only her cellphone. Having the laptop will increase her accessibility  to the technical world of doing most business virtually and online from home.  

With the laptop, she will have the opportunity to take the skills assessment tests needed to prepare her to attend Lane Community College. Her long-term goals are to gain employment in the field of Medical Billing and Coding. She would like to work from home until things return to normal. In the meantime, the laptop will allow her to learn online, develop skills, and work on certifications towards her long-term employment goals.
