Dr. Kelly Tremblay is a neuroscientist and clinician who has spent more than 25 years in academia as a researcher and practitioner.
Her research in the areas of communication neuroscience, person-centered care and digital health technology was honored by the National Institutes of Health and the World Health Organization with invitations to judge peer-reviewed grant applications and to develop guidelines in support of healthy aging.
Her career has since evolved into supporting others who are in leadership roles. For example, as a clinician and champion for inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility, she has served on many boards including the Hearing Loss Association of America where she served as a board trustee and co-founding chair of the Task Force for Accessible, Inclusive Employment.
As an ICF certified executive coach, she works with C-suite leaders to promote healthy, accessible, multi-generational workplaces where people can flourish. At Royal Roads, she teaches in the Master of Arts in Executive and Organizational Coaching program.
