About Kelley

Kelley Denby joins the WT board with 20 years of sales and fundraising experience and currently serves as Executive Director of Prospect Development for the University of Texas at Austin–even though she’s a proud Aggie (class of ’03).

She and her Longhorn husband of 15 years, Kris, have owned and operated their woodworking business Hemlock & Heather since 2012 and reside in Austin, Texas but dream of moving to the country with their daughter.

Kris’s son lives and works in Austin as well and is finishing up his degree this fall. Kelley has assisted WT with their fundraising objectives in an unofficial capacity since 2020 and looks forward to supporting the board and Executive Director in an official capacity now in her board seat.
