BRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
I started my career at WWKX in Providence in 1996 as an intern, board-op then a parttime radio personality. In 1999 I was offered overnights then moved into middays. In 2001 I joined WZMX Hot 93.7 in Hartford as a Midday host then I moved into afternoons. While working at Hot 93.7, I had the pleasure of working at both WJMN 94.5 and Shade 45 SiriusXM parttime. I am excited to say though, I have been at WZMX for 19 years and I absolutely love what I do every day!
