First Concert:
My first concert was when I was in Kindergarten. I was a huge fan of the movie Camp Rock and saw the Jonas Brothers and Demi Lovato on tour at the New York State Fair.
Favorite band/artist of all time:
Lana Del Rey. Her songs are very poetic, and I’ve always appreciated the visual aesthetics that she includes within each album.

“Aberdeen” by Cage the Elephant
Place you’re most looking forward to visiting in Milwaukee:
As a lover of concerts and summer, I’m looking forward to experiencing Summerfest!
How/why you got into radio:
From a young age I’ve always been interested in journalism that focused on music and the arts. During my undergraduate years, I was able to pursue that interest while covering the local music and arts scene in Boston. Although my experience has mainly been writing, I can't wait to explore radio!
