addition to her work as an on-air personality for a New York radio
station in the early '90s, Kelly also wrote news, sports and
entertainment stories for live broadcast, and ad spots for local
businesses. By the year 2000, Kelly had become a sought-after freelance

award-winning TV mini-series H2O, starring Paul Gross, and the cult hit

company that develops tie-in materials (website content, YouTube
videos, comic books, interactive games, contests and viral marketing
campaigns) for the film and television industry.
