Who is Kelly Schultz Part 1

• There were two things I was passionate about
  during my childhood sports and sewing. I knew at
  a young age that I wanted to do one or the other
  when I grew up, but deciding which one I wanted
  to do was the hard part.
• After graduating from Hill Murray High School in
  Maplewood, Minnesota, I attended the University
  of Minnesota. I decided to take a shot at the
  fashion design industry. I completed several
  introductory classes in design, but never really
  felt like I fit in to the "fashion crowd." So I
  changed my mind and started taking classes
  focused on journalism. I thought that the fashion
  industry would be easier to enter because it was
  a more "female" focused business, unlike the
  sports industry of the 1990s which was
  predominantly run by men.
• Needless to say, I ended up frustrated with the
  size of my classes and the lack of personal
  guidance at the U of M, and went back to working
  in retail. Two years later I found myself in
  front of an advisor at Brown Institute in
  Minneapolis (now known as Brown College). It was
  there that I finally realized I could follow my
  dream of being a sports broadcaster. I got my
  first job working in radio at WMIN in Hudson,
  Wisconsin as the board operator for Nebraska
  Cornhusker football every Saturday afternoon and
  a Bowl game that season.

Who is Kelly Schultz Part 2

• Despite not finishing my college degree, I
  continued to move up in the broadcast industry. I
  did everything from running the control board to
  producing a network sports show to doing sideline
  reporting for football to hosting game
  broadcasts. It wasn't until I landed in Bemidji,
  Minnesota that I realized how important getting
  my college degree would be to my future in this
  competitive industry. And what was even better
  was that Bemidji State University was a smaller
  university of around 5,000 students rather than
  the 65,000 I encountered in the Twin Cities.
• With over ten years of experience in radio and
  television broadcasting already on my resume, I
  decided it would be in my best interest to
  concentrate on something other than mass
  communications. I returned to college at Bemidji
  State University in January 2007 and will be
  graduating with my Bachelor of Arts in Sport
  Management in May 2009.

  an important part of my life.

  subjects with objectivity when I report about
  them.

  experiences, I am able to work within all aspects
  of the media. Play-by-play, reporting, editing,
  producing, Web writing, blogging, and creative
