A native of New Bedford, I am happy to be working at the radio station that I grew up listening too. I vividly remember listening to the Top 7 at 9 when I was younger, counting down Salt -N- Pepa "Whatta Man", Paperboy's "Ditty", and "Very Special" by Big Daddy Kane and Spinderella. I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree from Wagner College on Staten Island, NY. I was lucky enough to live and work in New York City. I gained television experience through a production internship on The Sally Jessy Raphael Show. I moved back to New Beige in 2003 and JR changed my life when he gave me an internship and my first job in radio. I've met my husband and some of the greatest people here at FUN 107. Now, I enjoy life as a mom. It's the hardest but most rewarding of all my jobs!

Lady Gaga Gains 25 Pounds
You'll hear no apologies from the eccentric singer. Photos have begun to circulate the Internet of her spilling out of her costumes on tour.
Getting Back In Shape After a Baby
It's been 21 months, so what's my excuse. I have always had to work hard at staying in shape, or losing weight. I know they say there's no "fat gene" but I am going to call Science's bluff.
Car Seat Safety
This weekend, I did a broadcast for Kohl's Cares to bring awareness to car and booster seat safety. The statistics I found out were astounding. Nearly 70% of car seats are installed improperly.
Home Sick from Work, Day Two
I remember now why I have had perfect attendance at work. Even when I was in school I never called out.
Parents Beware of Germs When Sending The Kids Off To Daycare
It only took four days. I knew it would happen. I just didn't think I would be taken down too. John, my 21 month old, started daycare. He hasn't exactly been a bubble boy but his exposure to germs has been severely limited. Aside from my parent's sterile home (my mother loves bleach), he is usually just home with us.
Keep on Rockin’ in the Corporate World
When people hear the word "corporate" they think of suits, muckety-mucks, stiff shirts if you will. To be honest, that's always been my experience with the "c" word. Until now. This week, Fun 107 got a little visit from the corporate digital team. In they sauntered with their fancy glasses, Powerpoint presentations and policies on how to do our jobs better. So far, so corporat
First Day of Day Care
One day he's telling Curious George "PU" and the next we're enrolling him in day care. I am extremely fortunate. After my maternity leave, my son has been cared for by my mother and father. And after almost two years, the free care has been awesome. He'...
Justin Bieber is no Christian Grey
Whose bright idea was it to offer Justin Bieber a role in the movie version of 50 shades of Grey? Unless he'd be playing a supporting or extra role, I just don't see it or get it. I can come up with a million reasons why it would FAIL horribly.
iPortuguese, the Southcoast’s New Smartphone?
Like many on the Southcoast, I grew up Portuguese. Strike that. I grew up Luso-American. The difference you maybe wondering, is between growing up with knowledge and hints of the culture verses growing up totally ingrained as if you'd been raised in the old country. I am a Luso-American, first generation with pride for both of my cultures.
Do You Care Who Judges ‘American Idol’ Anymore?
When American Idol first began, I was instantly hooked. I followed the very first season from auditions, right down to the finale with Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini. I even watched the "Kelly & Justin" movie.
