Growing up in Southern West Virginia, The Big Dawg was the soundtrack to my childhood. From listening to the morning show on the way to school, to Country Gold with Rowdy Yates on Saturday nights, 99.5 was always on! After graduating from Independence High School, I went off to college in beautiful Buckhannon to West Virginia Wesleyan to study technical theater. There I learned so much about the arts, technology and creativity while also navigating a pandemic that brought me right back home. I was given the opportunity to intern for the summer at WJLS and fell in love with radio, or as I quickly learned it to be known as \u201ctheater of the mind.\u201d After a while I was fortunate enough to work my way up from just \u201cthe intern\u201d to a permanent piece of The Big Dawg. Now I have the best of both worlds, being right here at home while creating my own art and appreciating that of others! Outside of the studio I\u2019m an auntie whose world revolves around her little gremlins and a devoted fur mom (cringe if you\u2019d like) working hard so my dog and cats can have the best life possible. I hope you\u2019ve had a coffee, or two or three, and can join me weeknights 7 to midnight on 99.5 WJLS. Whether you\u2019re winding down from the day or workin\u2019 on the night shift, I\u2019ve got for all the hot new country and some country music classics just for you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
