What have you loved the most about living in Las Vegas?

I love almost everything about Las Vegas, but the thing I’ve loved the most is that everything is open 24/7! Want steak and eggs at 4 a.m.? Go to the grocery store to buy bananas at 2 a.m. There is always something to do in the city, and everyone always comes to visit you!

Who was the last artist you saw in concert?

I saw Christina Aguliera and Flo Rida at the opening of the Virgin Hotel in Las Vegas! It was a strange combination, but a super fun night.

When did you first start working in radio?

In college I got my first on-air show in Palm Springs, which was 70 miles from my house, so I would drive back and forth on the weekends to do my show. Those drives by myself made me realize how much I love radio and wanted to do this forever. Palm Springs will always have a special place in my heart, because it was the first place I was on-air.

When did you first talk on-air? Were you nervous? How did you think it went at the time?

I believe the first time I was on-air was in my college course. I had no clue what I was doing and I was scared to death! I still have my air checks from college and they make me cringe! I’ve definitely come a long way.

What song has been stuck in your head lately?

I’ve had Chicago on my mind a lot lately, so I’ve been humming “Chicago Freestyle” by Drake and Giveon nonstop.

Do you cook a lot? If not, what’s your favorite food to order for takeout?

I’m definitely not winning America’s Top Chef anytime soon. Is there anything that feels better than getting tacos delivered to your door? I think not!

Scary movies or rom-coms? (Bonus, what’s your favorite movie within this genre and why?)

Rom-coms hands down! I think I’ve memorized every line from He’s Just Not That Into You. Any time I’m feeling a little down, I’ll pop it in!

What was your favorite album of 2021? What spoke to you the most about it?

I need to give Doja Cat her flowers! Planet Her was hands down my favorite album of last year. She had songs for moods of love, lust, heartbreak, revenge — it had it all! Every single was a hit. She went from almost unknown to viral sensation during the pandemic; you have to respect her talent and marketing.
