BRIEF CAREER SYNOPSIS:
In late 1999, I was in Miami chillin' at the Mix Master Power Summit, met Daz Dillinger and he came to Houston to do a music video with Kurupt for "Coasting", I was the lead chic. I met some people at the shoot that wanted me to host a pilot for a Music Video Show in Houston. I did and met another host, which happened to be the PD for KPTY in Houston. He asked if I would be interested in doing radio, I said "YEAH!" I started off as his sidekick on the afternoon drive, 3 months later was 1st female jock they had and I had my own Midday Show. Three years later, I was moved to the "Mo in the Mo'ning Show" Morning Show. A couple years later, an opportunity arose within UNIVISION RADIO to make a move to the hot new format of Reggaeton in San Francisco…and here I am!
