Kelly Hunt earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from the University of Tennessee and is currently completing a master's degree in international journalism. She spent four years as a Army photojournalist, including nine months reporting in Afghanistan, writing for The Freedom Watch and exploring the Middle East. After Operation Enduring Freedom, Kelly returned to her original duty station, Fort Hood, Texas, as editor for The Fort Hood Sentinel.

Kelly is originally from Ohio and came to Tennessee after completing her military tour. She is determined to explore as much of the world as possible, writing all the way and taking photos to illustrate the beauty of it all.

Her latest adventure took her to London, Wales, Ireland, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and  Switzerland where she focused on photography, international relations and international communication.

In addition to her work on the Tennessee Journalist, she is the editor for the UT School of Journalism and Electronic Media's Web site. 

Kelly also hosts an international topics blog, which is in it's beginning stages. It addresses a variety of issues ranging from international news and organizations to study abroad experiences, providing a look into the world around us through interviews with international leaders, students and professors, as well as her experiences during travels abroad.
