Proud native of Chicago, IL and a Michigan State University alum, I have deep roots in the radio and television industry. Having landed my own radio show and becoming an On-Air Personality at the age of 19, it became my passion. From radio, I ventured off into television hosting. I interned with BET Networks, and upon graduation, worked many of their major productions. Upon graduation from Michigan State, I took the 'Corporate America' route, as most college grads do, and worked for a prestigious Fortune 50 company for the next four years, where I was promoted to an Area Sales Manager, being the youngest manager in the company at that time. This is when I realized that my passion truly was to be in front of people, engaging with them every single day, speaking in front of massive crowds, and such. I decided to test the waters and became a Narrator and Product Specialist for Porsche Cars North America, and most recently, the Ford Motor Company. I travel with the International Auto Show Circuit, performing live presentations and demonstrations for the entire Ford line-up, as well as interfacing with customers regarding vehicle information. Radio is still my passion and I hope to once again, have my own show in the very near future.
Some fun facts/special skills:

In 2005, I was one of the 13 finalists for MTV's "The Real World 18"
I am one of the fastest typers I know! 101 WPM with a 98% accuracy.
