BRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
I started chasing the dream when I got my first internship at KISS 108 doing promotions and the JAM'N 94.5 morning show in Boston. I got my first gig in New Bedford, MA at FUN 107 where I went on to start weekends on 103.3 AMP radio in Boston. From weekends, I was added as the co-host on the night show with JD. I then was offered afternoons in Portland, Maine on HOT 104.7 and a couple months later I was promoted to the morning show to host with Ryan Deelon.
1. What got you into radio?
The passion I find in myself for it, the fun energy, the ability to put a smile on somebody's face. What I loved about radio before I was able to break into it was the way the DJs related to me as I was driving. I always wanted to be the person on the other end who could PUT the smile on somebody's face and say the things everybody was thinking, but was too afraid to say. #ReverseRoles
2. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
TV host 100%. My parents used to come into my play room and find me talking to my stuffed animals lined up in a row, calling them up one by one to get interviewed.
3. Now that you are on the morning show, how are you handling the early alarm clock?
I play the alarm turn off every minute of the 4 o'clock hour game, and then Ryan gets the lovely pleasure of watching me put my makeup on in the studio every day. Haha! It never gets easier, but when you're in love with your job it helps the pain of putting your contacts in that early.
4. Who's been your favorite celebrity interview?
I would have to say Kat Deluna, strictly because she actually put my chewed up gum in her mouth after she taught me how to twerk and that was the realest thing I've ever seen.
5. What has surprised you about living and working in Portland?
I was pleasantly surprised about the atmosphere. After big-city living in Boston for so long I almost forgot how beautiful nature can be, so I moved to an apartment right on the ocean.
6. New Englanders are passionate about their Pats, Celtics, Bruins and Red Sox. Growing up in New Jersey were you a New York Giants fan?
I was actually never a big sports fan until I moved to Boston and stayed there. The city morphed me into a Celtics, Pats, Bruins, and Red Sox fan because those were the teams surrounding me as I made a life there, now I'm a fan for life!
7. If you weren't in radio, what do you think you'd be doing professionally?
That's something I ask myself every day. If it wasn't for radio I'd be in an insane asylum because a normal desk job and not being able to say 'that's what she said' to people on the phone would drive me INSANE. (But probably a teacher).
8. What do you like to do in your spare time?
I have two extremes in my free time, I love to eat and I love to work out. You know what? I work out so that I can eat...there we go.
9. If you could be on any TV reality show or game show, which would you want to be on?
OH MY GOD. Easily The Ellen Show, how can one human be so funny?!
10. Got a celebrity crush? Do you know who Ryan's celebrity crush is? Who is your guy's celebrity crush?
It's a tie between Channing Tatum or Julian Edelman, Channing Edelman would be nice. Ryan's is Emmy Rossum but only in Shameless, and my guy's crush is Sophia Vergara but i told him he's not allowed to #WCW her on the gram.
Bonus Questions
If you had to eat one type of meal every day for a month, what would it be?
I could eat turkey sandwiches for the rest of my life.
Cat or dog?
Maine Coon kitties rule the world
