Kelly McDonald is a Sales Trainer for Shore Mortgage. She has been with the Shore Family since April of 2009. She is extremely passionate about her job and loves seeing other succeed. Not only is she in business development, but personal development as well.

Helping others succeed is what Kelly is all about. Working as a Sales Trainer, Kelly loves not only giving advice, but seeing others thrive and succeed because of it. It’s this kind of gratification that makes her say she has “found her dream job before the age of thirty.”

She enjoys helping people so much, that after college, Kelly went to South America to teach English for a year and a half. She learned Spanish while she was down there and taught English to kids and adults. Then she decided to explore the country. Kelly toured about 90% percent of the South America and when she wasn’t horseback riding in the Andes Mountains or exploring Chile, Peru, and Bolivia, she was learning Spanish which she still uses today.

However, her passion doesn’t end at the office or with helping others. She has developed a new found interest, running. Kelly has always wanted to be a runner. So one day, she started to run. Since then, she has participated in numerous amounts of 5k and 10k runs, including the Turkey Trot in Detroit. She doesn’t stop there; she also completed the Detroit Free Press half marathon and is now training for the Motor City Triathlon. Running is something she enjoys because it’s difficult and it gives her a chance to clear her mind.

Whether she’s running, globetrotting, or training the sales staff to be the best they can be, you can tell from her passion and enthusiasm that she truly loves what she is doing.
