The Story

Kelsey's journey continued to evolve, taking her across continents and through various phases of personal and professional growth.

Her transformative adventure began when she was just 21. An ordinary Study Abroad Info Session at Wichita State University ignited an extraordinary spark within her. It was the lightbulb moment that set everything into motion and fueled her determination to study in Paris. In 2014, Kelsey left her comfort zone to attend an international business school, a decision that marked the inception of her global journey.

With relentless dedication, she spent the next two years mastering French, earning good grades, and preparing for an adventure that would take her 4,703 miles away from home. In the heart of Paris, she joined 250 international students at ESCE, a prestigious private business school. The hands-on learning and engaging classes in Contract Negotiations, French, Managing People, and Business Management enriched her perspective and skills.

In her Managing People class, Kelsey and 18 other students embarked on an entrepreneurial endeavor that would redefine her path. Together, they created TwoVox, an innovative organization with a mission to bridge the gap between diverse languages and cultures. TwoVox's brainchild was an app designed to connect people within the same area for language skill exchanges, starting in France with aspirations to expand globally.

Kelsey assumed the role of Public Relations Manager during this transformative semester. She spearheaded TwoVox's social media presence by creating a Facebook page to promote its mission and vision of creating connections. This venture marked Kelsey's first step into the world of using social media to facilitate meaningful connections between businesses and people online.

After the semester concluded, Kelsey's journey took her back to the United States, where she completed a degree in Business Management and continued to expand her knowledge through marketing courses. Her wanderlust led her to Italy, where she worked as an Au Pair, gaining further international exposure.

Subsequently, Kelsey took on a series of pivotal roles, including Communications Manager, Community Outreach Coordinator, and Marketing Director for multi-million-dollar organizations. She accumulated a wealth of diverse experiences that laid the foundation for her next adventure in Denver, working in the consumer product goods industry. Finally, in 2018, Kelsey's visionary spirit led her to Kansas City, where she officially founded Rayn Social.

Kelsey's journey mirrors her passion for helping individuals and businesses connect in the digital world. Her profound travel experiences taught her that, regardless of backgrounds and cultures, there's a universal desire to connect. Social media became her tool for bridging these connections, a mission she wholeheartedly embraced with Rayn Social. With Kelsey at the helm, every interaction, every moment, and every Rayn drop is a testament to the power of meaningful connections in the digital age.
