Talkradio 850AM WTAR

Afternoon and Evening News and Weather Anchor

You can hear me reading news and weather on 790 AM WNIS weekdays from 1pm-6pm. Other than that, you may also recognize my voice from some Cox Cable TV commercials.

I enjoy spending much of my time learning new things through internet research. I am quite familiar with coding most computer languages by hand and I love to build and design websites. Check out my website, click here.

At home, I'm an animal lover and a movie watcher and collector. I have 4 cats and two dogs (a Saint Bernard and a White German) lots of fish and lots and lots of plants. I burn more candles than most people buy in a lifetime...and my movie collection is in the thousands and growing. I also collect framed 8x10 movie still and TV show cast photos and original movie theater posters.

I prefer to hang out at home, but, like most women...I also like to shop! I especially love a great thrift store find!

Astrological Sign: Leo (warm and cuddly until someone rubs them the wrong way!).

Favorite Games

Grand Theft Auto series for Playstation 2 (all of the games in this series are way too addicting...they takes months to finally beat...I highly recommend cheat codes for those who are impatient like me)
