Biography - Kellyn Laurinski

Kellyn Laurinski is originally from San Diego, CA and graduated from San Diego State University in 1996 with a Bachelor’s degree in History.  In February of 1999 the desire for a change of scenery took her to New York City, NY where she resided for the next 6 years.  Kellyn finally landed in Dallas, TX after a location transfer with her company in April of 2005.  In March of 2006, she decided to take the plunge into the martial arts – something that had always interested her but she had never done, and found her martial arts home at CSSD.

In 2010, Kellyn was promoted to Shodan in Gasan Ryu Kenpo and shortly thereafter made a career change, she is now the program director at Chamberlain Studios as well as a member of the instructor team running regular classes!  In addition Kellyn is the lead instructor for the Tuesday afternoon kids classes at Brookhaven Country Club.
