I caught the broadcasting bug one Christmas when my family sat around listening to tapes of my grandfather's radio show.  He had worked for years in Mississippi as a disc jockey and concert promoter.  But, I'd never known much about his career.  Something about that moment really struck me, and I found myself working toward a new career goal.                                                   

My childhood was split between Mississippi and Kentucky. I worked for years at my hometown radio station, WCTT, in Corbin, KY. Then, I graduated from Eastern Kentucky University with a degree in Mass Communications. (I also got a minor in marketing/sales - just in case I couldn't make any money.)  I took over as News Director at WEKY in Richmond and worked as a sports/news intern for WVLK in Lexington.  Ask me sometime about meeting former UK Coach Tubby Smith.  Pretty embarrassing stuff!! 

 FYI:  My Old Kentucky hometown is where Kentucky Fried Chicken got its start!  How many people can say that? (well according to Census information, exactly 7,742)

Life has been exciting since I moved to Normal in 1999!  Originally, I came to WJBC as a news anchor and reporter. Over the next few years, I was promoted to morning anchor and eventually became the News Director and Assistant Program Director.

Listen weekdays 12-2 p.m. to access McLean County's top experts and of course, the top news stories of the day.  Best of all, it's an opportunity to call in and be part of a community-wide conversation!  It doesn't matter if you agree, just say what's on your mind.

My husband, Eric, works at State Farm in Bloomington.  We met while I was covering a news story about the Bears in 2001.  It took several years, but we eventually found each other again.  He's been such a blessing in my life!

I truly love living in Mclean County and I look forward to many more years of being a part of WJBC's tradition as The Voice of Central Illinois!
