Hi! Thanks for stopping by 96.7 The River! I hope you're as happy to be here as I am! After being on the air since the age of 18, I decided to hang up my headphones awhile back. Well.....never say never, because here we are again! After living in Colorado for awhile, and on the east coast for about 20 years, I made my way back home to Minnesota several years ago. Jay and I live in St. Joseph with our dog Neena, and our herd of cats. We are also a hospice foster home with Grey Face Rescue. When I'm not on the air, I put on my Creative Directors hat at the station, working in the production department. Outside of work, I volunteer at the Tri-County Humane Society, love love love to travel, spend time with our furry kids, get together with family and friends, read, go to festivals and art fairs, and just hang out in the backyard. I'm a big believer that life gives back to you what you give to others. Kindness, empathy, patience, understanding and love. You have the opportunity to make a difference in every single life that you come into contact with. Always be kind!

How Would You Die On The Oregon Trail: Another Goofy Buzzfeed Quiz
I love those silly quizzes from Buzzfeed. They make no sense, the things they ask you often have nothing to do with the outcome, and they suck you in before you know what you're doing. So here's how I would Die On The Oregon Trail......

My Favorite Facebook Post Of All Time: Less Than
I've known Erica Larson since she was a baby. She was beautiful then, and she's beautiful now. Inside and out. And I often find myself chuckling at or giving some thought to some of her Facebook posts. Clever, thoughtful, inspiring. But there was a recent post that moved me so much, I wanted to share it with others.

Pete will be having surgery tomorrow and spending the rest of the week in the hospital. He knows how much I love animals, so he trusted me to take great care of his cat, Lucy. It took about 2 hours at our house before she got lost.
