Aside from the radio show I used to host with my sisters on our dual cassette recorder as kids, my journey took me mostly in the direction of theater and film. My background varies with jobs in Acting, Singing, and film producing, but my greatest joy and best accomplishment is my beautiful daughter Ellie. I’m also a supporter of warm hugs, kind words and laughing as loud and often as possible! So how did this acting, singing, single mom land a radio gig? I guess you could say I was in the right place at the right time. After collaborating with Townsquare on a film project, and filling in for vacations I basically just never left. And now, you’ll find me laughing and chatting with AJ every morning on the new HOM morning show! I’m honored and humbled to be part of this incredible team and I am looking forward to brightening your mornings!
