Petra Kellie

Petra joined the STEPS team in November 2023. She grew up in the Middle East before attending the University of Washington in Seattle. After graduating in 2008 with a BA in Political Science and History, she worked in Outreach at the Jackson School of International Studies and for a political party in Tbilisi, Georgia. After moving to the Methow Valley, here in Washington State, she began working in hospitality, moving back to Seattle in 2020. Using the management, organizational, and accounting skills developed in her previous fields, Petra left the hospitality industry and began doing office management in 2022. When not working, Petra enjoys reading, knitting, hiking, and cross-country skiing, as well as exploring the many breweries and wineries Washington has to offer.
