Why/how did you choose a career in radio?
Because I've been told all my life that I talk too much - figured I might as well put it to work!
My journey in radio began accidentally. I went back to school when my youngest was in first grade - and discovered oral communication. During one summer break, I decided to see what it was like to work at a radio station by interning (that's right - no money!!) for a summer. That's all it was supposed to be. But I fell in love with the whole works, and was blessed enough to be surrounded by people who were kind enough to teach me what they knew. I kind of... took to it. That was almost 17 years ago - the summer never ended!
What do you like best about your job?
The people I meet and get to talk to on a regular basis. And the music. Work that centers around the music I love... a dream come true.
How long have you been a resident of Cape Cod?
Since I was 5. I don't remember too much before that. And if you think I'm going to say how many years ago that was, forget it!!
If you relocated to the Cape, where did you grow up?
Grew up in Yarmouth - graduated from D-Y. This is home.
What are some of your favorite activities?
I live for a good book and the quiet time to read it. I also love biking with my husband (we've been end-to end on the Kancamagus Highway in NH once, and to the top and back twice. A very hard climb - but on the way down, you don't have to pedal for 4 AND A HALF MILES!!), traveling - anywhere (my favorite trips so far have been to Germany, Paris, and Phoenix), and I am, I confess, a video game addict of sorts.
When not at work, where would you be most likely found?
At home - I like my family best!! When we get away, it's usually to the White mountains.
Words of wisdom:
When Momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. Clean the house.
Favorite quote:
I should have this tattooed on my forehead. Backwards, so I see it in the mirror every morning first thing, lol!
