Kelly Evans is known as an American journalist. She is most famous for being the co-anchor of Closing Bell.
Kelly Evans was born on July 17, 1985 in Hartford, Connecticut. Kelly was raised in Lexington, Virginia, in Rockbridge County near the Blue Ridge Mountains. High school was a breeding ground for Kelly’s athletic abilities. She earned eight varsity letters in lacrosse, cross country and track. She enjoyed running because it allowed her to get stress out. She was found of lacrosse because she enjoyed the game and companionship she got from her teammates.
She graduated cum laude from Washington and Lee University in Lexington with a bachelor’s degree in Business Journalism. As a college student, she was also an excellent athlete like she was in high school. She was a four-time scholar athlete when she was the co-captain of the women's lacrosse team. She was a First Team All-State, a First-Team All-ODAC and a First Team All-Region selection. She was also a member of the national leadership society, Omicron Delta Kappa.
Kelly is married to a fellow employee. She tied the knot with CNBC sports reporter, Eric Chemi in 2017. The loving couple did not take long to start a family. They gave birth to their son on July 5, 2018. Kelly is happy that she now has the time to be a mother. After a long and successful career, she is now able to have a beautiful child to raise.
Before finding a home at CNBC, Kelly Evans was economics and real estate reporter for the Wall Street Journal. It was a great job to have after graduating from college, she was able to gain valuable experience by interview people and writing insightful articles about the economy. While employed there, she wrote for a number of well-respected columns, such as “Heard on the Street” and “Ahead on the Tape”. At that time, she also served as a reporter for the Global Economics Bureau.
Evans believed that all youngsters should increase their work efforts for the economy to work well. She says that she loves to simplify the huge figures and industry jargon and bring real economic issues to the common man.
The renowned journalist wrote an article entitled "One Nation, Dangerously Divided" in which she mentioned that the unemployment rate has come down in the U.S and the corporate situation is much better but there are huge differences between the republicans and the democrats over the entitlement system.
Kelly began her career at CNBC when she worked for the CNBC London office from 2012 to 2013. Evans described the transition to TV in an AJC interview, "The learning curve was steep. It's been one immersive experience after another. It has pushed and stretched me. It's challenging and fun. I would say I didn't know how little I knew about doing television until I got here."

One of Kelly’s strong points is her wide and devoted fan base. Seeing a journalist enjoying the lifestyle of a celebrity drew a lot of attention. The Gawker Blog posted an article on Kelly’s lifestyle in 2011 entitled, “The Mixed Blessing of Being the Next 'Money Honey'”
Gawker praised Kelly in the article, “The whole "Money Honey" thing is outdated. This is the internet era. The next “Money Honey” will not be some CNBC executive-wooer or blonde Fox newsbot. It will be Kelly Evans, the one who works at a real newspaper, who has a real reporting job, and whose broadcast is not a well-lit, super smooth studio job, but a relatively low-budget, in-house, online video feed that occasionally flickers in and out of clarity. And Kelly Evans will get to reap the benefits. The benefits of her adoring fan base, which are of a few varieties. "WSJ airhead slut Kelly Evans", that's one variety. "Hot or Not: WSJ reporter Kelly Evans", that's another variety. And then, of course, the most common variety: unmitigated, unsolicited adoration. Which is nicer?
There is, for example, the fan group "Kelly's Heroes" on the Red Eye website, where one particular user posts every Kelly Evans screenshot he can get his hands on, and another writes "Hello Kelly, from what I have read about you, you are very smart, and I can see you are very pretty. No offense intended. I hope to get to know you better. I have a blog on my page about PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and I would love for you to look at it and comment."
The main point of the article was how the internet has allowed regular media personalities to be adored by niche fan bases.
At one point, Kelly decided to deactivate her Twitter account. When asked why she decided to leave Twitter, Kelly said: “It ultimately became dizzying and exhausting to me. I felt lost in endless spools of social media, all the while emails by the thousands were piling up, phone calls were getting lost in the mix, and messages from the most important people in my life were getting drowned out in the din. I was more responsive to comments on social media than to my own closest friends and family.”
She was also annoyed by creepy comments from some crazed fans, “Being constantly confronted with gross and bizarre comments from strangers was if anything an important reminder to me that not all the world is like my supportive family. I shut down social media because I needed to shut out online distractions and engage with the people, issues, and work right in front of me.”
