"Something that involves kids. I love kids and would love having a job that allows me to be around them"-
BRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
I’ve been the co-host of an amazing morning show since 2011. I also do middays and I’m the Assistant Program Director. My day doesn’t end with that. I also do the traffic for our 3 stations. Living the dream, on the daily.
1. What got you into radio?
The radio station I work for had a contest for a new co-host for the morning show. Winner winner chicken dinner I won the contest (hold the applause).
2. What did you dream of becoming when you were a kid?
My plan was to join the Marines. I wanted to do my four years in the service as a Military Cop and when I completed the four years, I wanted to work to become a U.S. Marshall.
3. We’re winding down the year. What would you like to do better as a programmer and personality as we close out the year?
I love the love our listeners have for us and would like to be more involved with community events.
4. What makes you smile daily at the station?
My mom passed away a few months ago. A friend of mine gifted me a blanket that’s a picture of my mom and I and I have it in my office. I constantly look over at it and it makes me smile and keeps me going while I do my work.
5. What would probably surprise most people about living and working in Corpus?
You can get anywhere in about 10 minutes, tops! We are also surrounded by beaches.
6. If you weren't in radio, what do you think you'd be doing professionally?
Something that involves kids. I love kids and would love having a job that allows me to be around them
7. Got any hobbies?
I bake, make decorations for my home, and love to baby my plants. My next goal is a garden but don’t think I’m 100 percent ready for that challenge just yet.
8. If you could be on any TV reality show or game show, which would you want to be on?
I don’t mean to brag or anything but I’m REALLY good at Wheel of Fortune. I would love to be a contestant and ask Vanna if I can have her job when she retires :D
9. Who plays Erika in a Netflix series about the station? What about your boss and morning partner, Gino Flores?
Let’s go with Michelle Rodriquez…Gino? This is a tough one but let’s go with Pitbull
10. Who were/are some of your mentors?
When it comes to radio, I have to go with my morning show partner and boss Gino. I came into the business not knowing anything other than the lyrics to some of the songs we played. He took the time to teach me what he knew.
Bonus Questions
You are a baker of amazing skill. Do you have a favorite dessert you make?
People love the cakes but on a personal level…Lemon Meringue Pie. It takes a certain amount of skill to make the perfect Lemon Meringue Pie and I feel I got it down.
You are alone and stuck on a deserted island. You have a shit-ton of batteries and a portable entertainment center featuring a DVD/CD player. You only have 3 movies and 3 albums for the next 3 months. What 3 movies and cds would you want on hand?
Elf for sure! Shrek, and Finding Nemo. As for CD’s let’s go with Ed Sheeran, Martina McBride, and Notorious B.I.G
