I’m a Midwest girl born and raised. I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin and attended college at UW-Stevens Point where I found my passion for radio as news director and station manager of the campus student run alternative rock radio station.

After graduation I thought I would take my BA in Mass Communications with emphasis in Broadcasting and Journalism and Minor in Political Science and become a big time reporter in some major city. I have family all over the country (including here in Michigan, shout out Livonia) so I made it my mission to visit them and apply for jobs. But instead, my internship with one of our news stations at Midwest Communications turned into a part-time job and opened the door to so many more career opportunities within the company.

I couldn’t be happier with my decision to stay in the Midwest. I couldn’t imagine a better place for my husband and I to raise our 3 daughters.
