Kelly Dahlem

As Outreach Administrative Coordinator at HRI, Kelly supports the Development and Marketing & Communications teams by helping keep projects, events, reports, and day-to-day operations running smoothly. From coordinating schedules and tracking projects to supporting fundraising efforts and outreach activities, she enjoys helping connect people, ideas, and resources to advance HRI's mission.

Kelly was drawn to HRI because of its commitment to coastal research, conservation, and education. The opportunity to contribute to an organization dedicated to understanding and protecting coastal and marine environments was a natural fit for her interests and values.

Outside of work, Kelly enjoys spending time with her family, working out, fishing, and gardening. She especially appreciates any opportunity to be outdoors and enjoys making the most of life along the Texas coast.
