I was born in West Texas, but was mostly raised in northeast Ohio. Being the daughter of someone in radio meant moving around a lot, but we were lucky enough to make Akron, Ohio, home for almost 20 years. Growing up in country radio means I don’t really know anything else. This job and lifestyle has literally been my entire life! Looking back, I am so lucky to have found a home here in WNY. It reminds me so much of Ohio, and it doesn’t hurt that I’m just a drive down the 90 from some family. Discovering good wings is probably my favorite thing about WNY, but I’ve grown to love so much more! You can find me near water or watching 'Golden Girls' -– there’s really no in between. I love cooking, hanging out with friends and my job! I can’t believe I get to this everyday and with people I genuinely love. I look forward to calling Buffalo home for many more years!
