Wayzata Grad Excels at UND Television Show, Accepts Job at Target After Graduation

Kyle Kohns is in her second semester as an intern with Studio One, an award-winning television show produced at the University of North Dakota. The Plymouth native has worked as a news release writer and a tour guide in the past, and she currently is the student marketing director. 

On show day, she is a green room attendant and stage manager. As marketing director, she leads the team through weekly meetings and promotional events. She says the internship has helped her prepare for a future career. 

“I have been able to use my experience making and implementing a marketing plan in job interviews,” she said.

In addition to her internship, Kohns is involved on campus. She is a member of the Alpha Phi sorority, the Director of Recruitment, a counselor to incoming freshmen joining the Greek community and a Panhellenic Delegate, where she speaks on behalf of Alpha Phi on the UND Greek Council. 

She also has studied abroad through the College of Business and Public Administration and was a student blogger for the UND International Center while studying overseas. Kohns also served as the captain of the UND Men’s Hockey Cheer Team and is a yoga instructor at the UND Wellness Center.

Kohns will graduate from UND in May 2013 with a management major. 

“After graduation I will be working for Target as an Executive Team Leader," she said. "I will have the opportunity to manage a store and learn about all the different aspects of the company."  

She graduated from Wayazata High School in 2009 and is the daughter of Robert (Bob) Kohns and Jacque Brainard.
