While I spent a few years "away" for college and then for work, I'm grateful to be back home and raising my kids in the same place that I grew up. As far as my background...the nutshell version is: oldest of 4, Theater geek, grew up in Orono and Bangor. I tricked some people in to giving me various jobs in broadcasting--including Q106.5, Z107.3 & WABI TV5, none of which I was ever qualified for. I love to chat, so in front of a mic or on camera are the places I feel most at home. My life is weird. I like to share that so others feel more normal! I'm a single mamma to 4 great kids who keep me young at heart and are the reason that what was left of my sanity has disappeared. I love music, and love hanging out with friends, which is why co-hosting with JStew is so much fun! Thanks for letting us wake up with you every weekday from 6-9!
