I'm born and raised in Parker, SD. I'm a single mom of 2 fabulous daughters. I have worked in radio for over 11 years total. I am addicted to facebook, pinterest and twitter. I enjoy going to concerts, karaoke, doing all kinds of random things, spending time with my daughters, photography and decorating. My favorite music is a hard one to pin point. I love everything from 80's rock and pop to everything we play on Hot 104.7. I also love ACDC and Kenny Rogers!
