WTJU
Eclectic Woman, Tuesdays 12 – 2 p.m.
Day Job: I am a full-time rehabilitation counselor at a psychiatric crisis stabilization center in Charlottesville. I also enjoy volunteering for The Blue Ridge Area Food Bank.
How long have you been a host at WTJU? 7 years
Why did you become a WTJU host?
I started DJ-ing at my college radio station when I was an undergraduate student at Guilford College in Greensboro, NC. I fell head over heels in love with the experience of sharing my deep love of music with listeners from all over the city. Joining the lineup of hosts at WTJU helped me to establish a sense of community in Charlottesville when I moved here in 2013.
