Started working in Radio/History?
While in college I had a couple of TV news internships – I wanted to be a news
anchor. However, I realized that I didn’t want to move to a small market (itty bitty
hick town) to start out. So I strayed away from my career goal (not the brightest
idea). Six years later the idea of radio was introduced to me, and so I had my radio
debut right here on Vibe 100! Its not TV – but much more fun.

Its better to be considered ignorant than to open your mouth and remove all
doubt.

Alicia Keys
Many people may not know….?
I knocked my two front teeth out when I was a baby, and they didn’tcome back
until I was 5 years old! Therefore, I talked with a lisp and had to have speech
therapy.
Favorite sport/sport teams?
Cheerleading – yes, it’s a sport!
If you had the chance to meet 3 people dead or alive, who would they be and why?
Oprah – because I think she is amazing – although lately a little snooty ):
but ultimately I would love to have her job!
Papa – because he I was always on his hip, but he passed away when I was only 10
and there’s so much that I want to tell him and learn from him
Stevie Wonder – he is such an impressive musician, I am in complete awe of his talent

Assistant at a day care center

My daughter

Naples Florida

Smacking while eating
Worst Job Experience?
Working at Bath and Body Works – because I had a manager who thought she knew
everything and that she was better than everyone else! Uh, she was the manager at
BBW not the stickin’ CEO!
