As Executive Director of Unstoppable Future Corporation, Kelly leads SheCrypto, a rapidly growing initiative dedicated to amplifying women in blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Bitcoin. Supported by the Women in Bitcoin + Blockchain Fund, SheCrypto is helping women entrepreneurs, builders, and investors gain access to knowledge, networks, and opportunities in the blockchain ecosystem.

In just one year, SheCrypto has helped more than 2,000 women attend blockchain and cryptocurrency conferences for free, connecting women who are already building businesses in the space with those who are exploring how blockchain technology could transform their companies and careers.
