ANNE KELLY
Medical Reporter

I spent my college years in Chicago bearing the cold, and promising myself I would move out of a cold climate as soon as possible. Then I was offered a job in Bismarck. The night I drove into the city was also one of the coldest nights of January and I had a 'what have I gotten myself into' moment. But since moving here to become KFYR-TV’s medical reporter, I've learned how to effectively bundle up and also learned that North Dakotans are accepting of my wearing warm snow boots with dress pants.

Before working for KFYR-TV, I worked for Clear Channel Radio for half a year. Every morning, I wrote and recorded newscasts that were then uploaded to Blackberry phones. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago in May 2007 with a degree in broadcast journalism. During my time at Columbia I had the opportunity to intern in the news department at WGN-Radio and at the CBS-affiliate in Chicago. I also tried my hand at my college's TV news program and newspaper.
