I am a senior Communication major at SUNY Geneseo from Baldwin, Long Island. I currently host "Palate Cleanser" Tuesday nights at 9! I was previously the Sports Director for the station and hosted our sports talk show "Sports 360". I have been working with WGSU for over four years now, and we are always open for suggestions and submissions! I just created "Weekend Playlist," where we share our weekly adds to the station's rotation. Posts every Friday highlight a few of the latest fresh tracks that you will begin to hear on our regular rotation that very day!

Operations Manager

As WGSU's Operations Manager, I oversee daily operations at the station, including programming, music selection, and helping to produce live shows. I graduated from SUNY Geneseo as a Communication major with a Philosophy minor in 2023 after being involved with WGSU for my whole college career as a student staffer, DJ, and manager. WGSU was a highlight of my Geneseo student experience and I am delighted to have the opportunity to work with the station in my professional life.
