Kennedy joined CJRW in 2024 and serves as Social Media Destination Specialist. In her role, she travels across Arkansas capturing video content that showcases all The Natural State has to offer, collaborating with the social team to produce engaging content for platforms like Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. She enjoys thinking creatively to solve problems and watching ideas come to life through collaboration. Her resume includes a Bachelor of Arts from Hendrix College and four years of experience at Heifer International, where she developed and managed educational content for a global audience.

Her favorite place in Arkansas is the Buffalo National River, where her scout-leader grandpa taught her to appreciate and respect the beauty of The Natural State. She especially loves to stop by the Gilbert General Store to imagine all the visitors who have shopped there over the past 100+ years.

When she’s not at work, Kennedy is onstage or backstage at her local community theater, playing board games with friends, taking road trips with her siblings or learning some new genre of arts and crafts.
