Hey ya’ll! I’m just a small town girl who grew up in Virginia in a town with ONE red light (seriously!). I left the Commonwealth and everything that I knew to chase a dream of getting into The Broadcast Journalism world. That’s how I ended up with The Volunteer State, I’m a 2010 graduate of Middle Tennessee State University with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. I owe MT the credit for my love of radio, I can’t imagine any other career! Getting paid to talk, you can’t get much better than that! After college I moved to Cookeville to take a job here at Zimmer Broadcasting and as they say the rest is history! For the last decade,  I’ve been entertaining The Upper Cumberland every work day doing Mid-days on 98.5 KISS FM.  My husband and I love Cookeville and everything it has to offer! We have two fur babies Riggsby, the bloodhound and Heidi, the mini schnauzer! We love to do ANYTHING outdoors and recently have gotten into landscaping and gardening!  In the Summer, you can usually find us riding around in my husband’s Jeep Wrangler with the doors and top off.!  We treat Riggsby and Heidi like our kids (since we technically have no human children. Lol) and are super passionate to help the local animal shelters.  We are heavily involved in other events throughout the year which includes Tennessee Tech Athletics, and The Upper Cumberland Foster Closest, a local Upper Cumberland organization that helps foster families! I love this life!
