About Kelsi Thompson

I’m a published author, educator, and former IT leader who brings together two decades of technical expertise with a lifelong passion for English, storytelling, and creative expression. After years supporting large-scale systems and leading technical analysis for organizations like Microsoft and BOKF, I shifted into teaching and writing—earning my MFA in English & Creative Writing and becoming a member of Sigma Tau Delta. Today, I leverage both worlds: the analytical precision shaped by IT and the narrative craft honed through literature. I’ve published seven books—including Emotional Humidity, a poetry collection, Heart Pins, a romantic thriller, and four Calvin and Ruby early readers—while teaching English, mentoring students, and creating learning experiences that spark curiosity, clarity, and confidence.
