Marion Kirkpatrick

Digital Content Manager, RFD-TV and FarmHER + RanchHER

Marion is a digital content manager for RFD NEWS and FarmHER + RanchHER. She started working for Rural Media Group in May 2022, bringing a decade of digital experience in broadcast media and some professional cooking experience to the team. She spent most of her career working at the national and local-affiliate levels of broadcast news at Nexstar Media Group, Meredith Corp., and Media General.

Marion graduated with honors from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, earning a B.S. in Journalism & Electronic Media with concentrations in magazine editing and musicology. While a student, she held esteemed internships at The Hollywood Reporter, The Lincoln Center, and DIY Network.

Marion was born and raised in Nashville, Tenn., where she lives with her husband, daughter, and family dog.

In her spare time, she is a passionate baker. She considers herself a “professional home cook” after spending a year pursuing pastry arts full-time at Henrietta Red, a James Beard-nominated restaurant in Nashville. She loves hosting dinner parties, hanging out in the backyard, and attending local rock shows with her husband (who also drums in a band!).
