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!

Michelangelo’s David Has Weak Ankles
On my vacation last year, the most amazing site in all of Italy, was the statue of David. When I walked into the room and saw the statue, it took my breath away.

This Song Has Been Haunting Me For Years
I knew all the words to this song years ago. I probably played it over and over again while going through teenage heartbreak. Sigh. But over the past ten years or so, part of the lyrics kept going through my head. I couldn't remember the artist, or the name of the song, or enough lyrics to look it up. It drove me crazy. And then........
