NOBETTERNINA

A hip-hop, R&B, and trap music junkie stuck in the 2000s/2010s ?. My journey into radio was inspired by 106 & Park, and my first concert ever was Hilary Duff (the variety is crazy, I know). My most-seen artists are Drake and Tory Lanez (8-10 times each), but my favorite artist of all time is Lil Wayne.

When I’m not on air, you can catch me on the field (playing soccer), taking a nap, at a concert, or indulging in pasta, tacos, and/or some form of chocolate.
