I have been a North Carolinian citizen all my life.  For fun I pretty much like anything that has a sense of adventure associated with it.  My hobbies are dancing, singing, laughing and watching romantic movies.  I am a kid at heart and feel that most people take themselves much too seriously.  I have long given up waiting to change from my childlike fascination of life, I will constantly be amazed with the human existence on this big blue ball called Earth so loved by God.

My career has been a series of twist, turns and unbelievable encounters.  As a radio personality I have been afforded the opportunity to see one of my dreams come true.  I have been in the media arena for well over twenty years.  I am a serious ham and I love to entertain people.  My dream is to have my own TV talk show; I am genuinely fascinated with people.

My family is my biggest success; I am blessed to have an adoring husband and three wonderful daughters.  They are my anchor.  I have been married for nearly thirty years and my daughters have exceeded anything I have done academically.  I can hardly believe that I have been blessed in such a magnificent way to have such a loving and devoted family.

I consider it all joy that I am a part of The Light 103.9’s on air staff and thank God each and everyday for an opportunity to share in His music ministry.
