Kelly Park is the Hospitality Ministry Coordinator for Berkeley Divinity School. A recent graduate of Berkeley, Kelly helped revitalize the Hospitality Ministry following the renovations to the Berkeley Center. She coordinates on-site logistics for guests of the Berkeley Center, and works with the Associate Dean and student Hospitality Ministry Team to provide daily breakfasts and a weekly community dinner during the academic year.
Before Yale, Kelly worked as a nanny and household manager, as well as in small restaurants. She also served on the vestry at St. Luke’s North Park in San Diego, a parish very much centered on hospitality and community care. Her previous professional experience in domestic work and commercial hospitality, as well as a practical and theological commitment to strong community life, inform her work with Berkeley.
Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, Kelly finds great joy in handwritten letters, reading biographies, and good conversations over good food and drink.
