MISS CONGENIALITY
KELLIE'S BIO
LTJG Kellie Hall knew she would regret not serving her county in the Navy. Fearing, "What if," she took the opportunity and never looked back. Coming from a Navy household, the Navy has always been the "family business". Growing up she moved from California, to Virginia, to Sicily, Italy, and back to Virginia throughout her dad's Naval career. Although familiar, Kellie has made her experience as a Sailor unique to herself. As an Officer who has served aboard deployed ships, a Human Resources Officer, an Officer Recruiter, and a MISS OHIO USA contestant, Kellie is proof that Sailors can do anything. Kellie remains passionate about influencing other women who are interested in a Naval career.
