Though I have spent most of my life as a bit of a nomad (22 moves in 25 years!), I am happy to now call the Northland home. In my high school and college years, my mom and I volunteered together at our local Christian radio station in St. Louis, Missouri, and I vividly remember thinking how cool it would be to one day get to do this full time!

In 2016, I graduated from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago with a degree in biblical theology and pre-counseling. I went on to work for a local food bank in Duluth, finding my passion for partnering with community organizations to accomplish important work. All these experiences led me to serve as our listener engagement director, helping connect our listeners to the station and back out into the community. I love how music brings people together and am grateful to be working for a radio station that serves as a common ground for people to meet and engage with God and one another.

In my free time, I love to run and rollerblade, enjoy a good cup of iced coffee with a friend, go to concerts with my roommates, and bake my famous chocolate chip cookies.

If you have an upcoming event you’d like us to partner with or have ideas on how we can better connect with the community, reach out to me at kelley@life973.com.
