She is an outspoken supporter of men and women serving in the U.S. military, and also has worked with charitable organizations including St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the American Lung Association, the American Cancer Society and the Wounded Warrior Project.
“Kellie is not only talented, she’s also a genuinely caring person, a loyal friend and a generous supporter of a number of charities, all qualities that exemplify the Pandora brand,” said Angel Ilagan, vice president of marketing for Pandora Americas. “We’re looking forward to telling her inspiring story and showcasing her inner beauty as part of this year’s summer campaign.”
