And we are back (so back) for another "Welcome to Our Exhibit Activations Team," where we introduce one of our wonderful team members.
This week, we have the marvelous Kelly Villwock.
Question: Being a part of our Exhibit Activations NBD team comes with a lot of travel right? What's been your favorite city to visit for an exhibit (and why)?
Answer: San Diego is definitely my favorite city to visit for an exhibit. The weather is hard to beat, the city is beautiful, and being right on the water creates an atmosphere that feels both energizing and relaxing. As someone who was born and raised in Florida, I've always felt at home near the water, so San Diego's waterfront setting is especially appealing to me.
Question: If you had to describe your travel style but through a movie character, who would it be?
Answer: I’d compare my travel style to Hermione Granger. I’m highly organized and prepared in advance with a strong focus on details, but I also stay flexible and adapt quickly when priorities shift on the road. Plus, I wish I had that magical endless bag she carries!
In an NBD environment, that balance is essential. It allows me to enter client conversations fully prepared, while remaining flexible to evolving needs onsite, whether that is an unplanned meeting, a new networking opportunity, or a last-minute schedule change.
Question: Favorite way to decompress after a long work trip?
Answer: After a long work trip, I reset by spending time with my husband and our 15-month-old son. Returning home and stepping back into our daily rhythm is the best way for me to recharge.
Whether we’re spending time on the boat, running errands together, or playing at the park, those simple moments are all I need to fully reset.
