I graduated Pace University in May of 2005 where I had some great experiences that uncovered my love of radio. I had my own internet radio show on WPUB.org, Pace University's on-line radio station. My show was uncensored, so I played songs in their entirety, constantly introduced the listeners to rare bootlegs, and left no subject untouched.
Soon I interned for 1010 WINS, an experience I greatly credit for my direction in life. I wrote, produced, and filed my own stories as if I was part of the news team. It certainly motivated me to one day become a journalist.
I soon joined WCBS Newsradio 880 on May 31, 2006 as a desk assistant in the newsroom. I can honestly say I love my job. I find stories, conduct interviews, and learn from a professional news staff. It’s exciting, challenging, rewarding, and intense. One day, I would like to write, produce, and even report for WCBS.
