She was born in Wellington in 1968. [6] She was educated at Victoria University of Wellington, graduating with Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degrees. [1] She is married to Paul and they have two children. Before training for the ministry, Kelly-Moore practised as a solicitor in New Zealand and in London. [7]
After leaving her legal career, Kelly-Moore studied theology at the Bible College of New Zealand, graduating with a Bachelor of Divinity (BD) degree in 1999. [2] [8] She then undertook further training for ordained ministry at St John's College, Auckland, the theological college of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia. [2] She was made deacon in 2000 and ordained priest in 2001. [8] She served first as assistant curate at St Aidan's Remuera until 2004, when she became its vicar; [1] in Remuera she was additionally chaplain to Corran School for Girls. [7] In August 2010, [5] she was installed as Dean of Auckland [1] (lead priest at Holy Trinity Cathedral, Auckland, the mother church of the Anglican Diocese of Auckland).
