About The Author:
My Bio? Who am I and what have I done, is that what you want to know? OK let's see...First of all, I'm just a nice girl from St. Louis, born and raised.
I went to SLU thinking I wanted to be a surgeon, then I had to disect a toad in biology and changed my major!
I transferred to Mizzou and started to study Broadcast Journalism at one of the best schools for Journalism in the country (yeah, I like to toot my own horn sometimes)
After I graduated I found out that hard news was really not my THANG. I like Entertainment, Gossip and plain old trashy news! It is so much fun to find out what trouble Paris Hilton has gotten herself into isn't it? I TOTALLY KNOW!
So I came back to St. Louis when all of my friends were getting their new careers started in small markets. I hosted an entertainment TV show in St. Louis for a bit.
THEN Somehow I met someone in the radio biz, I think it was at a bar (see, partying helped my career!) and thought it would be kind of cool to be able to wear jeans to work every day because you can't see me when I'm on the radio! (ha ha!)..
I did traffic reports for a few radio stations, then met someone from the Steve and DC show and eventually became a personality on their show and then the executive producer.
I came with them to 101.1 The River, then it changed to Movin and I got hired back as a weekend DJ, then Movin changed and now I'm on 106.5 The Arch on the weekends.
I am also a Producer at Show Me St. Louis on KSDK during the week!
So I have my foot in the radio door and the TV door. I love both jobs so much and feel very blessed that I get to do both!
Thanks for learning about me! I'm grateful you took the time to read my bio! :

School of Rock is brought to you by Carol House because you like nice things!
Tonight’s subject is about finding your niche and being who you are…even if you are a bit weird!
You’ve got to follow your heart and do what makes you happy, case in point, Weird Al Yankovic.
He was raised in California by a dad that told him that the key to happiness was doing for a living whatever it is that makes you happy.
He was a smart kid, he began kindergarten a year early and skipped 2nd grade, his first accordion lesson was a day before his 7th birthday and you could say the rest was history after that.
He’s parodied more than 150 songs and has won 3 Grammy’s.
One of those songs that won him a Grammy…I thought to play it...well because I’m hungry…tonight's song was "Eat It" his version of Michael Jackson's "Beat It". Yankovic did have to ask permission from Michael Jackson before he parodied it and Michael said OK.
