What has been your best on-air experience? 

made a joke on air and someone texted in to tell me how funny it was, that’s when I knew I had made the big leagues.

 

What is the best concert experience you have had? Why? 

Going to Lollapalooza 2021 because it was the first festival I went to with friends and I got to see so many of my favorite artist perform. A lot of meme-worthy stuff happened (like hte Playboi Carti performance) and I was able to get like 3rd row to see Tyler the Creator perform.

It will help me be able to loosen up around others because now I’m used to taking in front of so many people.

Favorite College Memory?

Going to tailgates sophomore year with my friends because we’d go from party to party, and then me and a few other friends would skip the games and either sleep or play video games at their apartment. Then they would usually throw another party later that night.
