Hi Everyone!

I've been working at KETK since March of 2007. I started out as the Weekend Anchor and Weekday Reporter. Now, I am happy to say, I currently anchor the Weekday Newscasts at 6 & 10.

I graduated from Northern Illinois University with a major in Broadcast
Journalism and a minor in Communications. At the same time, I interned at the ABC affiliate, WTVO, in news and production. From there, I worked in Wisconsin at the ABC affiliate, WAOW, as the Weekend Anchor and Weekday Reporter.

I have won numerous awards during my career, including many AP awards for producing during my time in Wisconsin. In 2008, I won an EMMA award from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for Spot News. And most recently, in 2009, I was awarded another EMMA from the NATAS for my overall reporting skills.

On my days off, you can find me shopping, working out, visiting my
family, and believe it or not- cleaning and cooking. And if you know me
really well, then you know I'm always looking for the next big story.
Some would say that's an understatement!

If you would like to share a story with me, or just send a note, you can e-mail me at jkielman@nbc56.com.
