Thanks for spending your workday with me! I'm happy to play great songs for you while you're on the job. When I'm not on the air hosting the Midday show, I spend time working on my voice over business, volunteering with Rotary, and hanging out with my dear family and friends, including the 4 legged canine kind. I enjoy seeing concerts, plays, and movies. I also make good use of my remote control, catching up on favorite shows like This Is Us, Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon, Grey's Anatomy, Younger, and Project Runway. I love to travel and hope to get to another wonderful destination soon.

Every Day Is Groundhog Day and Our Pets Don’t Like It

Women can be positive role models whether they birthed a child or not. Not having any kids of my own, I like to think I've helped guide and support the children who have been in my life at various stages.
