Kendra Carr grew up surrounded by the Manistee National Forest and the aisles of her parents’ convenience store.

A graduate of Cottey College and Western Michigan University, she started her career at a housing agency, working in eviction prevention and re-housing.

She then transitioned to radio, first working for a top 40 radio station before moving onto work as the local host of All Things Considered for Interlochen Public Radio.

She has performed on stages throughout West Michigan. When she’s not  on stage, she can be found in the audience or reading at home with her cat.
