Kelsey Grady

Kelsey Grady brings dedicated leadership to the PNOC Foundation’s board. She became deeply involved with the organization after her daughter’s diagnosis and successful recovery from a cerebellar tumor, which spurred her and her family to shift from patient-care recipients to active advocates and fundraisers. Grady’s work helps amplify the Foundation’s mission: to “lose no child to brain cancer.”

Grady’s story is featured in regional outlets such as Marin Magazine. She also serves as Chief Global Communications Officer at Nextdoor, where she leads the company’s global communications strategy. Her professional work in communications, combined with her family’s experience, strengthens her advocacy for awareness-building and support for families facing pediatric brain tumors. Grady earned a Bachelor of Science in Journalism and Mass Communications from the University of Colorado Boulder.
