Biography

Nestor studied for a Bachelor in Arts (Journalism) from 1987 to 1989 at the South Australian College of Advanced Education's Magill Campus, now part of the University of South Australia in Adelaide. She began work as a reporter at a Central TV Network (GTS BKN) in Port Pirie in 1989.

Nestor moved to the ABC in Adelaide and worked as a journalist and presenter for South Australia's ABC News as well as the presenter of Stateline for almost three years. She also worked as a reporter, producer and presenter for the Adelaide version of the 7:30 Report at the ABC.

She became the weekend anchor of ABC news in Adelaide after Michael Smyth succeeded John Lombard, but ratings figures later saw Kelly and Michael swap positions with her taking on the weekday anchor job.

She later moved to Ten News Adelaide, which is filmed out of Melbourne. Following a number of years as co-anchor of the 5pm news, Kelly left the Ten Network.

After leaving Ten, she had initially planned to move to America to spend time with her fiancée, and had lined up a job with KNBC in Los Angeles, however both her relationship and job fell through and she moved to Sydney where she became a part time presenter with Sky News Australia.

On September 19 2007, It was announced that Kelly would return to Adelaide to co-anchor National Nine News, following the death of Kevin Crease. .[1] Kelly began as co-anchor of National Nine News on October 8 2007, saying she felt privileged to be working at Nine alongside co-anchor Rob Kelvin.
