I’m a Miami Valley native and a proud Wright State Alum! My journey at WHIO began back in January 2016 when I got an internship opportunity at Cox Media Group through Wright State. I was excited to work in the radio department, and wouldn’t have believed when I first started that by March I would be doing live newscasts on my own! I officially joined the team eight months after I started in September 2016 and have loved the work that I do here ever since. I am lucky and grateful to have the opportunity not only to do what I do with WHIO, but to be able to work with an excellent team of professionals who have taught me everything I know today about radio. There’s always more to learn, and I look forward to doing more work as a part of the WHIO Radio staff in the future! Q & A Where were you born? Dayton Where did you grow up?

I get to do something that I have been interested in since before high school, and really refine my skills as not only a broadcaster, but a writer and producer as well. What do you not like about your job? The hours can vary. What might people be surprised to know about you? I am actually an extremely shy person. What would be a perfect day for you? Waking up bright and early to go to an all-day concert with a group of friends. What advice would you have for someone wanting to go into the business? Always give 110% effort, and remember the only thing about this business that never changes is that things are always changing.
