Kelsey Childress

Kelsey Childress is the weekend anchor/reporter.

Kelsey grew up in Lynchburg and graduated from Brookville High School in 2017. She is thrilled to be back in her hometown city, so she can share the stories of the community she loves.

Kelsey left Lynchburg for her collegiate journey, where she attended Canisius College in Buffalo, NY. There, she triple-majored in Journalism, Communication Studies, and Psychology. She was also captain of the Division I swim team.

During her free time, Kelsey coaches the swim team at Oakwood Country Club. She also enjoys spending time with family/friends and exploring the Downtown Lynchburg area. Kelsey is a big "foodie" and has a mild shopping addiction, so she loves trying new restaurants and shops.

She is looking forward to using her passion for storytelling to better the community she's called home. If you ever see her, please say hello and feel free to reach out to kchildress@wset.com with any story ideas!
