My position was impacted as part of the company\u2019s recent budget reductions. I\u2019m incredibly proud of this journey\u2014from co-hosting afternoons in Columbus, to becoming the first female night show host on the legendary WNCI, to connecting with listeners in my hometown of Dayton (WCHD), and being part of shows across Cleveland (WAKS) and Cincinnati (WKFS).These experiences, shows and the communities behind them, have meant everything to me. To everyone who supported, listened, and grew with me along the way\u2014thank you.
