The best person to compare me to, would be Bridget Jones. I am entertaining, caring, have an adventurous love life, fun loving and huge klutz. I grew up in the Twin Cities in a very small family- aka only child with no cousins! What got me into radio you ask? Growing up my parents had a tape recorder that they used to make tapes for my grandparents who lived in Michigan. One day when I was two, I grabbed the microphone and started saying “hi mommy, hi daddy” and then started to sing a Muppets tune. Then when I was 8 years old I made a mixed tape for my mom for her birthday. It had a variety of her favorite oldie songs on it and every couple of songs I would tell her that I loved her and introduce the next artist. My mom and I listen to that tape every couple of years and roll on the ground laughing because I couldn’t pronounce any of the musician’s names correctly. Instead of Elvis Presley, I would say Elvis Preeeeeselly. In high school every one kept asking me what I wanted to do when I grew up and I just said the first thing that came to my mind…”I want to be famous someday”. So here I am now in radio. I’ve been in radio over 10 years which included various markets; the Twin Cities, St. Cloud, Duluth and Rapid City, South Dakota. I did leave radio for two years to work for the University of Minnesota and pursue my MBA. In my spare time, I love shopping, working out, hanging out at coffee shops, reading, volleyball, dancing, snowmobiling, driving fast cars and watching a romantic comedy on TV. You will probably hear me talk about my fiancé and planning a wedding. I met my husband on a bridge in Duluth, one very cold winter on the way to a hockey game. Shawn, is originally from RedwoodFalls and currently works at Sears in the Kandi mall. It’s great to be in Willmar and I hope you have a chance to listen to my show.
