I was born in a small town in Arizona, but my roots were officially planted in central PA when my family moved here when I was 6 years old. I graduated from Midd-West high school in '09 and went to college at Mansfield University where I got my bachelor’s degree in Public Relations and Broadcasting; I graduated in 2013. GO MOUNTIES! While at MU, I was a part of the campus radio station and newspaper as well as being a sister of Zeta Tau Alpha.
I was sure at 15 years old I wanted to be a radiologist and spend my adult years taking x-rays of people. But that all changed in one day after a job shadow with my pal Chad Evans (ya'all may know of him). When I left that job shadow with 94KX and Sunbury Broadcasting that day, I knew I wanted to be a part of THIS party one day.
After I graduated from MU, I crossed something off my life’s to-do list a little quicker than I had planned; I took on the gig of motherhood to the coolest kid, Ryland, and my plans switched up. So, after momming and working a freelance photography gig for a while, I decided it was time to put my degree to work. That led me back up on Blue Hill where I entered as the Traffic Director (no, contrary to popular belief it has nothing to do with road traffic) and graphic designer. When I'm not in the studio, you can find me somewhere else in the building creating graphics, scheduling commercials and answering the phones. I started on-air last summer and that party I wanted to be a part of back when I was 15? I'm here for it now! I've always enjoyed the behind the scenes view on most things; staying behind my camera and art most of my life but stepping behind a microphone has offered me a new view on the world and I really love it. I've learned so much from all the awesome personalities I'm surrounded by and I'm lucky to call them my pals.
When I'm not wearing one of my many hats at the radio station, I enjoy road trips and stopping at all the breweries along the way, astrology, Flyers Ice Hockey, live music, photography and all things artsy fartsy. I'm a denim enthusiast, self-proclaimed foodie, Jedi master LEGO builder and I take playing boardgames very seriously in my down time. Most of all I love to just kick it with my son, my friends and my family.
I am in no way a morning person, so I guess it’s pretty fitting that I get to end my evenings by turning up the music for the rest of the night owls out there--thanks for listening!
