Claim your profileHi all! I’m an Emmy Award winning journalist with more than two decades in print and television. I started freelancing for my local paper in high school, specializing in arts and entertainment reporting. After interning at “The Dr. Phil Show” and NBC Los Angeles in college, I returned home to the DC area and worked in government procurement at Deltek, where I was a principal analyst and employee trainer. After several years in government relations, I returned to my journalism roots to focus on local news. I started as a segment producer for WJLA ABC7 and worked my way up to line producing live broadcasts each morning. At WJLA, I produced “Good Morning Washington,” “Outside the Classroom,” “The Pet Show with Dr. Katy,” and created the Emmy winning series, “The Mother Side.” After several years at WJLA, I moved to the number one rated “Good Day DC” at WTTG FOX5. Now I’m back at Deltek as a content writer, in addition to launching my LLC for media relations, and my podcast, "The Tangle with Kyle Ridley." I currently live in Maryland with my three rescue dogs.
