Corbin Kelly has over 15 years of experience working in both Human Resources and Event Management. She has worked in these capacities for the corporate world at both Viacom, Inc. and Simon & Schuster, as well as at her alma mater, New York University, as Director of Employment.  In recent years Corbin has applied her extensive experience working for herself and has freelanced as both a Human Resources Consultant for start-ups as well as an Event Planner for projects that interest her, be it a fundraiser for a cause she feels strongly about such as disadvantaged or victimized children, or an art gallery opening for an artist she loves. This said, Corbin’s greatest joy is playing an active role in her six-year old daughter’s life and she feels very blessed that working as a freelancer allows her to do this.
