BRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
Started as an intern now I'm here. I got my first radio opportunity at KYLD/San Francisco at the age of 18. It was the best job I had ever had. I worked in the Promotions department aka: The Party Crew. Slowly but surely I moved up to Programming and some amazing radio stations KYLD, KRZZ, KVVF, KDON, KVEG, KRBQ and now KSFM in Sacramento . I worked long days, hours and paid my dues for every opportunity ever presented to me. I LOVE WHAT I DO.

3. You recently took a trip back to El Salvador. Was the trip everything you thought it might be? What was the highlight of the trip?
YES! It was everything I thought it might be. I left El Salvador at 8 months old and had never gone back to visit. Eating to food like pupusas, caldo de pata, quesadillas, horchata, pollo camper and all the fruits. It was amazing. Just to kick it on a maca and relax was so cool. The people in El Salvador are so humble and hard-working. It makes me so proud of my roots. The HIGHTLIGHT was meeting my father's side of the family for the very first time and especially my grandmother.
4. It's been awhile since you lived/worked in Las Vegas. How was it living in such a busy tourist mecca?
It was so much fun. I love a city that is fast paced and filled with entertainment. I got to experience so much! I'll never forget my Vegas radio chapter. Made great friends, rocked three dayparts, interviewed JLO and the list goes on.
5. What would probably surprise people about living and working in Sacramento?
There really is a lot to do. You'll love Sacramento's art scene, music scene, Midtown vibes, DOCO, K St., festivals, American River for summer river rafting and family fun. You're two hours from Tahoe and one hour from the Bay. The State Capital Building is beautiful and a lot of life changing events happen there. So far, I love it.
6. Who were some of your favorite celebrity interviews?
JLO - The nicest person to talk to. She's like your homegirl.
Phife Dawg - He did a dope freestyle on my show that went viral.
Marlon Wayans - Having him sing Happy Birthday to Obama was so funny and cool.
Ne-Yo and Ashley Graham are some other favorites.
7. If you weren't in radio, what do you think you'd be doing professionally?
Registered Nurse or business owner. My family is in the flower industry so I'd probably have my own flower shop.

I spend time with my mom. I read, workout, show prep and I ride a Jump Bike in Midtown.
9. If you could be on any TV reality show or game show, which would you want to be on?
Keeping Up With the Kardashians. I'm trying to be Kylie's new BFF! I can see myself on Dancing with the Stars since I love to dance. Also Beat Shazam.
