Kela Kee is a dedicated life coach and human services professional with a passion for empowering individuals to achieve personal and professional growth. She earned her Master of Arts in Human Services Counseling with a concentration in Life Coaching and, in 2017, founded Straight Path Coaching, a personal development company focused on guiding individuals toward success.
Recognizing the need for systemic change, Kela spent the next seven years in the nonprofit sector, where she specialized in coaching individuals facing economic hardships, helping them secure stable employment and build sustainable careers. Her impact in the field was recognized in 2020, when she was honored with the prestigious Bank of America Emerging Leader Award for her contributions to workforce development and community empowerment.
In January 2025, Kela reignited her vision and relaunched Straight Path Coaching with a renewed mission – helping individuals develop essential life skills, guiding teens as they transition into adulthood, and supporting career seekers in finding their professional paths. Since its relaunch, Straight Path Coaching has partnered with multiple organizations to address mental health awareness, behavioral management, and career advancement, reaffirming Kela’s commitment to transforming lives through guidance, mentorship, and personal development.
