Kelvin Kirkland

Kelvin Kirkland was born in Orlando, FL, but soon moved to Fort Lauderdale at 5 years old. After graduating high school, he attended Florida International University. There, he would leave the institution with two bachelor’s degrees (One in Communications and one in Health Services Administration) and is currently a second-year master’s student set to graduate this April from the Global Strategic Communications program.

During his time in college, he discovered his love for both sports and production. He Spent 5 years at FIU Athletics in the media relations department as an assistant producer. His passion for the industry would later drive him to pursue a similar career path with WSVN (Channel 7 News) as an Associate Producer in sports.

Aside from his passion for sports, he was heavily involved in numerous clubs and activities. He is a member of the Tau Delta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, the former Historian of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, he was an Orientation Leader in for the 2018 school year and was the Community Service Chair for FIU’s Men Achieving Leadership, Excellence, and Success (M.A.L.E.S).

Kelvin is currently still working in his role at WSVN. His professional goal is to elevate from an associate producer in sports to an executive producer. He hopes to create a high-quality product (either locally or nationally) to spread joy throughout communities using the art of sports storytelling.
