Kennedy Bright is a Kansas City, Missouri native that attends the University of Missouri – Kansas City pursuing a Bachelor of Arts - BA focused in Communication with an emphasis in Journalism. She is the Sports Editor on the University’s student-run newspaper University News.Bright is a member of the UMKC Track and Field team that has taught her time management, teamwork, and how to work under pressure. This experience has made her privy to a broader insight into the demands on today’s athletes. That sense of empathy assists me in producing pieces that tells the true stories behind the athletes. This was highlighted as I produced several articles for Major League Baseball this year as a Freelance Writer.Being the Sports Editor for UMKC’s University News has expanded my view of the world of journalism and strengthened my skills. I am confident in my writing ability, video production as well as developing original story ideas while building and leading teams for success. My vision for 2019 was the development of Roo Nation Sports, our digital platform which has expanded the way in which we feature Kansas City Athletics. Our use of digital media has allowed us to reach a broader audience, giving the public an avenue to get to know the athletes and people behind the scenes of Kansas City Athletics.You can check out more of Kennedy’s work at her website kennedybright.com.user.server279.com
