Kelly Bennett joined the staff in July 2006. She covers the quirks and frustrations of the local housing and job markets in full-length stories and in posts on her newsblog, Survival in San Diego. Bennett's series, "People at Work: A Monthly Look at the Things We Do for Money," has taken her all over the county to tell the stories of San Diegans in their jobs, from a wee-hours drive-thru worker to a career funeral director.
A graduate of Point Loma Nazarene University's journalism program, Bennett interned as a student with Marcus Stern at Copley News Service in Washington, D.C., at the start of the Pulitzer Prize-winning investigation into former Congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham. She was raised in Canada and lives in Ocean Beach.
