Meet Ja’Nae McKelvy, a dedicated sport management student at Wichita State, who is making significant strides in her field. After completing an internship with the Kansas City Chiefs as a KC Training Camp Intern this past summer, Ja’Nae is excited to take on a new role as the fall 2024 intern with the Kansas City Sports Commission & Foundation.
