Kelly is a freelance producer and editor, currently working for VPM and the Race, Religion, and Democracy Lab at UVA. She used to be a producer for BackStory, which she joined after a brief and sordid affair with graduate-level philosophy in Guelph, Canada. There, she started a nationally syndicated radio show and podcast called Pioneer Radio, got some training at the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University, won a Third Coast Short Doc award for a three-minute piece about poutine, produced a documentary for the BBC about firearm suicide, and started a family. She developed, produced, edited, and hosted a podcast through NPR’s Storytelling Lab called “Do Over” about regret and the strange terror of the choices we make.
