SPECIAL SKILLS and INTERESTS
Sports and music are my passions in life. I love performing as a play-by-play announcer and being on either end of a spirited and enlightening interview. This is why radio has been so rewarding. Swimming is my favorite activity for fitness. I sing every day and listen to music in any activity possible. I hope to learn other languages for personal enrichment, while also increasing my marketability. I’ve held many leadership positions and motivate others through positive re-enforcement. I possess an insatiable thirst for knowledge and growth, both personally and professionally. I’m a creative individual who can find humor in most any situation. I look for the good in people first and believe all true and successful relationships employ the art of compromise and effective communication.
