I LOVE being a part of the Quick Country family. I grew up in the area, and feel truly blessed to be a part of Rochester radio! I'm in love with radio, and country music is my favorite, so I couldn't ask for a better job. :) When you don't hear me infecting your airways, chances are you'll catch me on a softball field. I'm a tomboy who's obsessed with shoes, esp heels (don't ask me how that worked out). I've met the man of my dreams, and now am a step mom to the sweetest little boy! I also spend a lot of time with my "mini me" sister. I'm an auntie to two beautiful boys (SUCH a cool feeling). My dogs are pretty much the cutest on the face of the planet. And, the person I admire the most is my grandmother. She is no longer with us, but I know she's smiling down on me. She is the reason I joined the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, so I can help find a cure for that terrible disease. I'm the Media Chair for the organization, and I love being such a big part of a great cause.

Brilliant Invention – Shoe Vending Machines!
We are all guilty of it - wearing those heals that seem to cut off all circulation to your feet, and have you walking on your tippy toes all night. They are crazy uncomfortable BUT adorable, right?

New Jersey Making A Statement – Trying To Raise Smoking Age
New Jersey made headlines when they became the first state to raise the smoking age to 19 back in 2006, and they are back at it again with hopes that 21 will be the new age now! I don't have a very strong opinion on what the exact age should be, but I just wish it would all be the same - smoking, drinking, and when one can go to war...
