What do you do? (job, community involvement): Sports director, CBS 3 Duluth.

What is important to you? My family and friends! If the past year has taught me anything, it’s that I never want to stop showing and telling the people that I love how much they mean to me.

How do you spend your free time? Currently, I am training for the Twin Cities Marathon in October. Most of my free time is spent running, eating and sleeping these days. I also bake.

From nominator: “Her on-air talents are one thing, but her character is another. Kelly has been open about dealing with anxiety, and she’s been open with her struggles as her mom battles an awful brain tumor. This is how someone who has a platform like she does can help people, making clear that no one is fighting alone. And neither is she.”
