About

I’ve been passionate about music for as long as I can remember, so choosing a career and sharing it made so much sense.  Music has always driven my personality.  No matter my mood, the right song can change everything.

You too? We’re going to be great friends!

I’ve been blessed to be on the air in New York and New Jersey for almost 30 years and am extremely honored and excited to be on the team at 100.1 WJRZ. I can’t think of a better place for this Jersey Girl than right here on the best station at the shore.

When not on the air, I write and perform standup comedy. I’m also a “walkaholic”.  I walk the boards all year round, in any weather with my 130-pound black lab Cooper. I love to read just about anything and have been known to buy the tabloids with my lunch money. (Priorities!) My guilty pleasure is watching bad reality TV. I have no idea how the stock market is doing but I can tell you what the Real Housewives of New Jersey were wearing and fighting about last night. I’m a typical “girlie girl” that spends way too much on makeup and the cosmetic stores get excited when they see me coming in. Truth be told, I’ve been known to come home many times with the latest new shade of lipstick only to find I already have it.  I call that a bonus.

I round out my time by working several days a week for the JBJ Soul Foundation at their community restaurant in Red Bank. The mission is simple. Everyone is welcome, no matter what. It’s an amazing place!

Being a people person, I love meeting and making new friends. I hope you’ll stop by a ‘JRZ event soon and say hello. I’ll be the girl with two identical lipsticks!
