Kelli Williams Gary, Ph.D., MPH, OTR/L is a clinical researcher at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and has been a licensed occupational therapist for 14 years. She has published several articles in peer reviewed medical journals on post-injury outcomes following traumatic brain injury (TBI) for minorities and their caregivers and has presented on these topics nationally and internationally. In 1990, Dr. Gary sustained a severe TBI in a motor vehicle crash, which resulted in cognitive deficits, temporary paralysis of her right side, and speech impediments. Since her injury, she has overcome many obstacles to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in occupational therapy from Chicago State University in Chicago, IL, a Master’s of Science and Master’s of Public Health from Columbia University in New York, NY, and a Ph.D. from Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA. Currently, she is a post-doctoral research fellow at VCU in the department of Rehabilitation Counseling conducting research for minorities with disabilities and organizing a program that mentors minority researchers in rehabilitation research. She is also the vice-chair of the Virginia Brain Injury Council and co-facilitates a brain injury support group sponsored by the Brain Injury Association of Virginia.
