Summary

Looking to now make a CAREER CHANGE to something that best utilizes my communication skills since having left broadcasting in late March of 2024. Passionate, dedicated, creative and versatile on-air radio talent with 31 years experience. Excellent connection with listeners. Highly interactive on the street and online. Committed to being a team player who can make a difference for the station and for the community. (In this case, my attention to detail and skills for personally interacting would translate well to my being a CONCIERGE for your company).
