While younger, Kellie Clark always believed she’d become doctor, but once a young adult embarked on a career where she found work just as important. “I wanted to be a doctor, but I couldn’t pass organic chemistry, so I had to figure out what I was going to do next,” said Clark.
It was while attending Auburn University that Clark “realized that there are more ways to help people than being a doctor,” she said. Since August 2023, she’s been managing director for Prosper Health-tech Accelerator where she and her team hold two separate cohorts and invest in 10 companies a year and in return get equity in their business.
“My mom was a nurse for over 40 years. She worked hard to expose me to so many different things. What that did for me was when I was in college, when I started working, I didn’t question if I belonged or not,” said Clark.She attended Central Park Christian, a small private school that was around the corner from her childhood home in Belview Heights.
In her free time, she enjoys the outdoors. “It makes me feel small and I think that is important for human beings,” she said. “The outdoors helps me keep things in perspective. There are things bigger and more important than emails, work … the outdoors is humbling. And it continues to exist and do it’s thing without our intervention. Nature doesn’t need us. That’s humbling when you think about it.
