Member Spotlight - Kerry Schicker
I am a Florida native, born in St. Petersburg. I have lived in St. Pete, Clearwater, Tampa, Orlando, Lady Lake, Mount Dora, Ft. Myers and Jacksonville.
I graduated from the University of South Florida with a degree in mass communications and a minor in broadcast journalism. I was the first student selected to anchor the university’s news program. After graduating, I pursued a TV news career and worked in several Florida markets as a reporter, anchor and producer.
After moving to Jacksonville to produce Good Morning Jacksonville, I wanted to try a different approach to storytelling. I got a job as a staff writer for a local magazine and went on to work as a magazine editor before jumping into the advertising/PR world. I spent a few years at a local agency honing my press release writing and media relations skills.
