Bio
  • In 1993, I was a 21-year-old college student (community college) working full-time in the world of retail. If you’ve seen the local teeny-bopper Wet Seal store in your local mall, then you can understand my former hell. At the time, I had NO interest in radio. I thought talk radio was for “old people” (sorry, at the time, that was my 21-year-old brain’s perception). Taking an internship class, I had dreams of finding an internship at a television station and making it big in the world of TV.  It didn’t happen. Well, there were no television internships available so I turned to radio and ended up at KFI.

    Little did I know that at the time,
    KFI was becoming the rebel talk station, the station that wasn’t for old people. It was the “in your face” station. The one where people said “I can’t believe Bill Handel actually SAID that.” I spent my internship opening mail, answering phones, doing the peon work.  When it was over, I was approached with the opportunity to be a “screener” on one of the talk shows, the Bill Handel show....for a whopping $5.25 an hour (whoop de do). Never mind that I had to drive an HOUR at 4am from “The OC”’ every morning. At the time, $5.25 an hour and my big 20 hours a week barely paid for gas. Needless to say, I had to keep my full-time job in retail AND manage to go to school. Little did I know that screeners were just a step up from pond scum and my job served three basic purposes…#1 get breakfast, #2 get snacks and #3 screen the usually abusive calls that came into the show.

    Eventually, my part-time thing turned into working many more hours than I should for no additional pay to learn about the wonderful world of producing.   Then, Bill’s producer went on maternity leave and I filled in. When she decided not to return, I was asked if I wanted the job for a pittance. Against my better judgment, I said yes. Because of that, I missed out on the real experience of a four-year college…you know what I’m talking about... slacking off and stumbling home half-naked with puke in your hair after getting rip-roaring drunk at fraternity parties.

    With the exception of about 2 years when I worked on other projects here at KFI, I’ve been with Bill’s show my entire KFI career. Why? I like that Bill's a big a-hole and it's fun for me knowing that the women in Bill’s life control him…I like being a part of that.

    So that’s it about me except that I’m a native New Yorker, a "Lawng Gyelander"....brought forcibly to California by my parents at the tender age of 15. I’m half Italian/half German, my breasts are a 40D (Bill said to add that) and I’m reasonably OK looking.  I got married October 2010, but we've been together since 2001.

    We have a dog Princess Grace Kelly...a 6 pound chihuahua that controls our lives.

    Peace out!
