As a little girl, I wanted nothing more than to play softball. There wasn't a feeling in the world that could surpass being on that field. But when I failed to make the team at Baylor University, I found myself searching for what I was supposed to do with my life. And I found you. Well, I found radio, but you came with it. I fell in love with the connection I have with you. Now, I get to go to work with you every single day and I constantly pinch myself asking if this is really my life. Radio has given me the opportunity to create unforgettable experiences for you and the chance to meet and interview some highly influential people like Taylor Swift, Garth Brooks, Elizabeth Hurley, Eli Manning, Conan O'Brien and more. I grew up in a tiny town in California, but also lived in New York City for a season. I've seen it all. I'm the wife of a hunk who has no clue that he is way out of my league and I'm a dog-mom to a spunky lil' Morkiepoo named Ollie who totally runs the house. I love country music, reality television, reading, cooking (with the occasional dance party in the kitchen), motivating others to be their very best... oh, and a good cheeseburger. Thank you for the chance to spend time with you each day!
