Independent Contractor
Kaylene Barbe
I grew up in South Texas, but Oklahoma has been home for most of my life. As an undergraduate in Texas, I worked for a veterinarian one summer, and another summer I worked in Colorado as a horse wrangler. I later earned graduate degrees at OU and have taught in the Communication Department at OBU for 30 plus years.
I have three cats, Kiki, Ninfa Maria, and Feliz, but have loved many animals over the years.
Owner
Karen Kelly
I grew up in Midwest City, but Tecumseh has been my home for 35 years. I took the long road to a bachelor’s degree at OBU, then spent the last 20 years working at OU in Marketing and Communications, mostly for the College of Engineering. I retired in December 2025.
My husband and I have two children - three if you count our rescue dog, Mattie. My favorite title is that of KK which I am called by my three grandkids.
