Kelly Ramel was born and spent her childhood years in Kansas City, Missouri. She is the youngest of three kids and arguably, the favorite child. She was a blue-eyed, freckled faced, beautiful tomboy and the only female player in the NFL. (Which, to Kelly, was the Neighborhood Football League). Her tomboy temperament earned her a spot on her eighth grade wrestling team. Kelly excelled in soccer and played throughout her school years. She set her high schools record for most goals scored in a single season her Freshman year. Childhood for Kelly was filled with camping trips, boat outings, fireworks, strawberries, dancing, trampolines, voice lessons, skip-its, and Labrador puppies.

At 14 her parents took Kelly and her best friend to their first concert—Cher. It was there, at Verizon Wireless Ampetheater, she was scouted by AMTC. So began her adventures as a teenage model. After signing with Ford and Wilhelmina modeling agencies she began modeling all across the United States and Japan. At 17, she kissed Kansas City and Gates Barbecue goodbye and lept into the bustle hustle world of New York City; business suits, good looking people, sushi, subways, singers, dance clubs, yellow taxi cabs, sweat, and tears. She eventually nabbed a Chelsea studio and in between modeling gigs began to study the craft of acting.
