I grew up in a small town outside of Pittsburgh, Pa and decided to study communications at John Carroll University right here in Cleveland... and after I graduated, I never left!  I've been here for nearly 14 years (minus the first 2 summers in college that I spent at home in PA), and I'm a fan of the west side, where I bought a home of my own about 4 years ago.  I hate when people don't follow the lines in parking lots causing driving chaos, I don't like syrup on waffles or pancakes unless there's butter too, and I am a pop culture junkie - when I'm on air at Q104 you can catch me constantly checking for updates on tmz.com or perezhilton.com and watching the Ellen show on mute in studio - I'm a HUGE fan!
