How it started
Kendell Kadesky fell in love with broadcast journalism when she was just 11 years old after she watched her middle school's daily news cast. That sparked her passion and led her to become the lead anchor and producer of the Bear Valley Middle School news show. When she was at home as a young girl, Kendell would gather her friends and anchor a newscast using a cardboard box as the anchor desk and would record the show with her mother's phone. What started out as a dream became reality in high school when Kendell began to film sports games and had the opportunity to report live on KUSI News with Paul Rudy as the Prep Pigskin Idol in 2016. That experience interviewing players and anchoring a live newscast made Kendell certain that she wanted to dedicate her life to broadcast journalism.
