Kelly Grant's career in journalism began in high school, when she worked as a night and weekend tape editor at her local television station in London, Ont. She's been hooked on reporting ever since. After earning a Bachelor of Journalism degree from Carleton University in Ottawa, Kelly worked as a cop reporter and editorial writer at the Windsor Star and as a general assignment writer and Toronto city hall reporter at The National Post.
She joined The Globe and Mail in 2008. Kelly has held a variety of posts at The Globe, including Toronto editor and Toronto City Hall bureau chief.
She is now a national health reporter with a special interest in health policy, medical research, drug pricing, COVID-19 and health care in the far north. In 2022, she undertook a special assignment reporting on health care in Nunavut. When not reporting, she can usually be found at the arena, cheering on her three sons.
