Where to start?!? I am the middle of 3 kids. Younger sister Mariah & older brother Tyler. I've always been the odd ball of the 3! Tyler has a masters degree in Social Work & Mariah is going to be a teacher & I well...play songs for a living :)
I am 2006 graduate of New Riegel and 2010 graduate of Heidelberg University. I was lucky enough to join WHEI 88.9 FM (or as I liked to call it "The 100 Watt Tower of Power") at Berg and find my passion for radio & I credit Dr. Gary Dickerson for that!
In the spring I will start my 6th season as a JH Track Coach for New Riegel. It is definitely one of the more rewarding things I get to do and so much fun!

Well let's see... I'm from a big family. I'm the second oldest of 6 kids and I have 11 aunts/uncles and I wouldn't trade them for the world.
I graduated in 2006 from Upper Arlington High School in Columbus and graduated in 2011 from THE Ohio State University. If you're wondering why I spent 5 years in college, it's because for some reason I thought it was a good idea to get two degrees, one in mathematics and one in journalism (no, I don't want to write articles on math lol).
I started off in media writing for Ohio State's student paper and calling basketball games for the student radio group. My first internship was through OSU's Athletic Dept. where I was the voice of the OSU Women's basketball team for the 2010-2011 season, then I got to intern at WBNS-FM 97.1 The Fan in Columbus where I gained some invaluable experience and realized that radio was what I wanted to do for a career.
I'm a HUGE sports fan/nerd (Buckeyes, Bengals, Reds and Blue Jackets), movie buff (if you didn't already guess from my daily movie quote game) and music fan (AC/DC, Fall Out Boy and Goo Goo Dolls to name a few).
Moved up to Findlay from Columbus to start working at WBVI/WFOB in August and still getting used to things, but I love it here and I thank my lucky stars for the opportunity to do what I love with such a great company in such an awesome city!
