Profile

“Success is a continuous journey.” ~ Richard St. John. This quote has been an inspiration to me throughout my career. I’ve been apart of the radio broadcasting business since 2000 and have gained many skills doing various jobs within the industry. I pride myself in listening, problem solving, time management, and leadership which keeps the business moving forward in the healthiest way. From 2000-2004 I gained experience in the marketing department as a promotions coordinator for Clear Channel Tulsa. It was in 2004 that I landed my first on-air job as a morning show sidekick on Seth & Julie on 92.1 KISSFM. Over the course of the next decade plus, I have held various on-air positions at radio stations across the Tulsa market. They will each be highlighted below. In addition to that, I also performed website duties as an online content director, and in the last few years have graduated to production director of iHeartMedia Tulsa. I am able to write, voice and produce many of the commercial spots you hear on the radio locally. The skills I have learned over the years have prepared me for my next opportunity. I will always focus on the simple strategy of finding a way to continuously move forward and find ways to improve. This will always put me in position to succeed.
