From influencing the airwaves to shaping human connections, I strive to embody impact with clarity. After voicing the pre-Grammy award show in 2022, I pivoted seamlessly from radio to human resources, aligning passion with purpose. Now at MISO, I curate experiences to attract STEM talent and elevate the employee journey. This work is more than a resume line, it’s a lifestyle.
