Kelly Hill fell into the telecom industry in 2005 and decided she liked it there, so that's where she's been ever since. Along the way, she has learned about spectrum, mobile infrastructure and how to climb a cellular tower; she puts her extensive knowledge of the wireless industry (and tech acronyms!) to work daily as executive editor for RCR Wireless News. She has a masters degree in journalism from the University of California, Berkeley, where she focused on science writing, multimedia and Zachary's pizza. She has written for the San Francisco Chronicle, The Oregonian and The Canton Repository. Kelly resides in the DC metro area, just far enough from Data Center Alley that she can see the Blue Ridge but still have a home wireline connection. Her favorite news story ever was about a sewer fatberg.
