Q: With August being women’s month, what kind of woman would you like to project to the world?
A: A talented and hardworking young woman. A dream chaser, who in the process hopefully inspires other young ladies.
Q: Name three women that inspire you and why?

A: LOL!!! This is tricky, besides my family. Very close one between coffee and my cellphone, haha but those who know me would probably say the coffee.
Q: What are the biggest challenges you face in your industry?
A: Being female is one of the challenges. Especially in Radio. And that’s only because of how things have always been done. As a female you probably have to prove yourself even more.
