I was raised in Missoula and grew up fly fishing on my grandparents' ranch. My introduction to radio was by way of cutting commercials for my mom's business when I was nine. I went on to become a writer and lived in both Minnesota and Maine, but Montana will always be home. You can usually find me hanging with my husband and our two rescue dogs, at the gym, hiking to bodies of water, or with my nose in a book.
