Kirsten Nelson, Systems Contractor News
Kirsten Nelson is the editor of Systems Contractor News (SCN) magazine. She started covering AV integration for the publication in 1998, starting as assistant editor and working her way rapidly through senior editor and managing editor positions until she was named editor in 2000. She also co-launched Residential Systems magazine in 2000, and served as assistant editor for Medialine magazine from 1998-2000.
Throughout her career, Nelson has also held editorial positions on the InfoComm Daily, the NSCA Daily, the AES Daily, and the CEDIA Daily off and on since that publication was inaugurated in 1998. She remembers the days when polaroid photos and late-night press checks were required for "live coverage" of shows. But the technological evolution has been good to her, as she is now able to attend industry events instead of going to the printer every night.Nelson received her Bachelor of Science in Magazine Journalism from Boston University in 1998. In her spare time, Nelson writes fiction and cultivates her understanding of music, art, literature, yoga, pilates, running, knitting, cynicism, and single malt scotch.
