Hi! Since I grew up in Lake Charles, I’m betting some of you recognize me. I graduated from St. Louis High School in 1984 and within 6 months, I was working with our very own Don Rivers! Afterwards, I worked ‘across the street’ as they say in radio for a year and a half, then moved out of state. Radio took me to Georgia and then Florida (where I took a break from radio and enjoyed singing full time for a couple of years). I then returned to radio and landed closer to home in Houston. In late 2004, the family moved to California for a few years and then returned to the Houston area. I still have ties in the area, with my parents still living here, as well as aunts, uncles, countless cousins, and dear friends! I have two awesome daughters that I’m blessed to be a mother to -- Courtney, and Emilee! Since Emilee was born, I have been working out of my home studio doing ‘Voice Overs’, which are commercials for Radio, TV, on-hold systems, imaging and anything else that may require a voice. Before she entered the world, I was on Sunny 99.1 in Houston. Now, I get to go Country! Let’s play!
