The name’s Kevin Edward Schultz, but you can just call me Kevin. I'm from the small town of Alexandria, Kentucky (think Cincinnati, Ohio, but across the Ohio River and more rural-suburban).
I'm a forward-thinking Senior Communications Specialist at Cincinnati Children's Hospital's James M. Anderson Center for Health Systems Excellence where I own communications strategy and implementation for four learning health networks aimed at rapidly improving outcomes and quality of life for for children and adults with complex health conditions. I formerly owned digital operations and the news and culture front-of-the-book print and digital sections as Digital Editor for Cincinnati Magazine. Today, I call Covington, Kentucky, home after some time in Connecticut, San Francisco, and New York City. Outside of work, you can find me cooking up spicy meals in the kitchen with my partner Kyle, playing in the backyard with my dogs Roscoe and Piper, or reading some Murakami at the local cafe over some iced coffee. I previously lived in Connecticut and San Francisco as a part of my two-year journey as a Hearst Journalism Fellow. I spent my first year serving up science, health, and environmental coverage and then breaking news for all of Northern California as a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle. I then moved to Fairfield County, Connecticut, where I reported on education issues ranging from inaccurate depictions of slavery in textbooks to a mother arrested for sending her child to an out-of-district public school to receive a better education. Before that, I was an American Society of Magazine Editors intern at Scientific American Magazine in New York City, an editorial intern at Cincinnati Magazine in Cincinnati, Ohio, and a communications intern for The Scripps Howard Foundation in Highland Heights, Kentucky. I also freelanced for Cincinnati’s WCPO.com and completed an investigative piece on lead contamination for The Cincinnati Enquirer. In May 2015 I received a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a bachelor's degree in English from Northern Kentucky University, where I served as editor-in-chief and digital projects manager for the university's independent news publication, The Northerner. I’ve won multiple state and national awards for my reporting, editing and digital project management, such as Kentucky Press association awards for best news and multimedia stories and a Pinnacle Award for best multimedia news story.
