A Bio??!!?? Where the heck do I start! Well, lets just roll with it and hopefully all will be answered!

I was born January 17, 1970 at Kaiser Hospital in Fontana, Ca. However my family and I lived in San Bernadino, Ca. Life started out normal, mom was a housewife and my dad worked his booty off to provide for his family, which not only included me, but my two older sister's Colleen and Mary. We took numerous family vacations to the various theme parks, Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, The Wax Museum, and Sea World. We also loved going to the beach, specially Balboa Beach we'd spend all day and night there, swimming, building sand castles, having bar-b-que's and enjoying each other's company around the campfire. We also would take trips to Texas, to visit my Grandpa's side of the family, this is where my love for horses and the country lifestyle started. I always looked forward to our family time, I knew something fun would be planned.
Every Sunday was church, period!! Both my parent's felt very strongly about God so there were no if's ands or but's about it, you went!

My childhood experience was normal, until that day when it all changed, somewhere in the midst of all those happy times, my parents decided to call it quits!! My sister's and I were devastated the life that we had known was coming to an end. Talk about the security blanket you have as a child being ripped from underneath you. My father sat us girls down and told us how much he loved us, and how he will continue to love us and be in our lives. He explained that we would still be living in the same house that we'd grown up in, and going to the same school's that we loved. It stayed that way for awhile, but mom remarried and we made our way to Northern Ca. Soon thereafter dad also remarried. It took awhile to adjust but dad kept his promise and we continued to be apart of his life.

Before I knew it I was in high school, at Casa Roble in Orangevale, Ca. and this is where the partying began!! Not something I 'm proud of but none the less, it happened and is apart of my past. It started out with alcohol although I remained involved with track/field, school newspaper, drama and photography. By the time my Junior year came around my only extra curricular activities were pot, speed, and cocaine. I was ditching school, sneaking out of the house and concerning myself only with the next "high." My Senior year I brought with me the same nasty addictions and more time to enjoy them, I was able to leave after 3rd period. Amazingly with the honor classes I had had I managed to rack up enough credits and more to graduate, however when I was in high school you had to take psychology or sociology before you could graduate regardless of the amount of credits that were on record. At this point in my life I thought I wanted to be a fashion designer, so I took fashion classes off campus after 3rd period. I was also working as a waitress which was great for someone on speed, all the moving around and chitter chatter with your customers not to mention the great tip money to spend on more partying. After graduation I started college, I had no idea what the hell I wanted to do with my life I had already lost interest in fashion design but college was the next step expected of me, so off I went. My girlfriends and I moved into our first apartment and life back then pretty much consisted of parties, work, school and more parties. By the time I was 19 I was a music major and wanted to be a music teacher. I also played piano, drums, and bass guitar. My girlfriends and I thought we were going to become famous musicians!! Unfortunately drugs were still apart of my life but thankfully one day I woke up and said enough was enough! I did not want to live my life this way, I looked around at some of the people we partied with who were in their late 20's and had not accomplished anything and I did not want to end up like them. I was one of the lucky ones, drugs for me were just for having fun and once I decided to quit all I had to do was change my surroundings and stay away from people who lived that lifestyle, it was more of an addictive personality I had to battle instead of my body being addicted.

I was approaching 20 and was tired of being a waitress while I went to college and I remember listening to a gal that was the night dj for 93 rock in Sacramento and thought wow, that sounds like such a fun job. My intentions were to become a dj only to help pay for my college years. I found out about a broadcasting school in Sacramento so I went and auditioned and was accepted. I fell in love with the broadcasting business and knew this is what I was meant to do.

I dropped out of college and concentrated on my career in radio. When I was approaching graduation from broadcasting school my teacher encouraged us to write down our goals of places we'd like to work, this is really freaky but true,my plan for action was Lake Tahoe, Reno, Sacramento, and Seattle. I drove to Lake Tahoe on a Saturday to check out the radio station and lucky for me the window of the broadcast studio faced a sidewalk that anyone could walk up to and talk to the dj. He was nice enough to chat and give me enough information so I could write a really cool cover letter that showed I had done some research on the radio station. I sent in my envelope that I decorated to look like a checker board, I figured the program director gets tons of these and I wanted mine to be noticed.

I hadn't heard anything from Lake Tahoe and a station in Marysville wanted to hire me, but I turned them down, I just had a feeling about Lake Tahoe. The Program Director finally called me, Rob Williams was his name, yes Rob. He wanted me to start on a Friday overnight shift, which happened to be graduation night for me, which of course I skipped my graduation, you learn real quick in this business, there is always someone waiting in line to take your job. Rob hired me to do weekend overnights and he had hired me over the phone, so when I finally met him, I was well shocked. I'll never forget it, it was a late Saturday night that he showed up at the radio station to meet me.

There he was 19 years old and my boss, he had blonde long hair (yes, Rob had hair back then) blood shot eyes from his night of drinking and a long black trench coat on. This was the beginning of our career together!!

Rob was an incredible boss and taught me so much, I wanted to work hard for him because I knew I would be rewarded. I left Sacramento and moved to Lake Tahoe even though I was only doing weekends I took a chance that something full-time would open up and I would be given the job. Sure enough full-time overnights became available and my shift, which turned into full-time evenings, then the midday shift. After 9 months of me working in Lake Tahoe, Rob took a job in Reno to work mornings on a country station there and recommended me to work the midday shift, I was hired and away I went moving to Reno.
