Kellie Lopez – My husband and I started a small accounting business over 10 years ago. My involvement was mainly data entry. Eventually we downsized and when covid hit, I found myself needing another source of income. Through a mutual friend who was employed at Shockley, I was referred and came on board almost a year ago. Working at Shockley is one of the best working experiences I have ever had. The comradery is wonderful which creates an environment of trust that filters into the business side. Plus, I have been able to grow in my accounting practices while working here. Some fun facts about me are I am from the hills of Kentucky, married to my amazing husband of 23 years and have two dynamic teenagers 18yrs & 16yrs. I love to travel, take walks and avocados. My favorite number is zero since in accounting that means I balanced 🙂
