Pebbles

When I was in high school, one of the nuns told me that I was loud and talked too much. Who knew you could turn something like that into a career? Well, through a totally unexpected series of events that led me from: my hometown of Wareham, MA to Northeastern University, a switch in majors from engineering to communications, and an incredible internship, I started my career in radio. Twenty-five plus years later, I have been lucky to have spent my entire radio career as an on-air personality in Boston. Radio was an accidental career for me, and one that allowed me to do so much more than play music and interview celebrities. It taught me about community, the importance of helping others, and using my voice to make a difference. My passion for youth literacy led me to create “Pebbles Reading Rockstars,” reading to, and helping children to discover a love of books. An advocate for women and girls, I have volunteered with many organizations including: the Girl Scouts, First Book Boston, Respond Inc., MEDIAGIRLS, and more. My hope is that every day that I’m on the air, something I say either: encourages someone, makes them feel seen, or just makes them laugh and puts a smile on their face. In 2017, I was inspired to create the public affairs program VOICES with Pebbles, which ran for 5 years. I wanted to use the show to amplify the voices of people making a difference in the world, especially people representing marginalized groups. One of the highlights of my career was receiving a Gracie Award for Public Affairs Program – Local, the first year of the show. Along with Leroy who produced the show, we won again in 2021. The Gracie Awards recognize exemplary programming created by women, for women, and about women in all facets of media and entertainment. When I’m not struggling to get up in the morning for our show, you can find me: binge-watching K-dramas, swimming laps, reading a good book, spending time with family and friends, or planning my upcoming fall trip to South Korea.
