Hi! I grew up in Pittsburgh, (yep – I'm a Steelers fan, but I've warmed up to the Vikings) and I graduated from Point Park University in 2012. I do have a broadcast degree. I've been part of Y108 and 100.7 Star in Pittsburgh, Studstill Media in Illinois, and now I'm in Rochester! My husband and I enjoy Rochester’s craft beers and wine, movies, live shows, hiking, and it's city/country balance. You can't find anywhere else like it! I have a cat named Pantera too – an adorable, long-haired black cat with green eyes! If you want to talk cats (or any animal really), hiking, movies, concerts, or pizza, I'm your girl!
