Biography

She grew up in a solid family together with her sister Romy. During her high school years Kelly worked as a waitress but after she we scouted several times by agencies she started modeling. What began as a hobby become her part-time job next to high school and later university: as a model Kelly is doing shows, shoots and commercials around the world.

Pageantry

In April 2011 Kelly became Miss Limburg (the Miss of her province) which automatically made her compete in the grand finale of Miss Netherlands which she won on the 10th of July 2011. Kelly became Miss Netherlands Universe at an age of 21 years which made her one of the 89 official competitors in the Miss Universe 2011 pageant. In September of that year she went to Brazil for a full month to compete for the title of Miss Universe 2011. During the grand finale, after 20 years of non-placement, the Netherlands penetrated the top 15 with Kelly as their ambassador.

After this victory she combined her work as Miss Netherlands Universe with modeling and was traveling around the world. Kelly went from the Five Star Diamond Awards in Cannes to judging a pageant in Washington D.C. and from doing charity work at an orphanage in Thailand to an appearance at the Grand Prix in Singapore. And in between she did her model castings in Amsterdam, Milan and Munich. It was a very busy year, but Kelly enjoyed it a lot.[1]
