What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my expertise in brand management and music programming while fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.

I am a high-performing Program Director with a proven track record in managing large music brands and collaborating with major record labels. My expertise lies in optimizing brand awareness while driving revenue, ratings, and expanding digital footprints. As an On-Air Host and Music Director at Westwood One, I produce engaging radio shows and maintain strong relationships with record labels, ensuring the success of our Hot Country format.

Previously, I served as VP/Program Director for Country Formats, overseeing programming for six country formats across 500 affiliate stations. My leadership extended to managing a team of 50 on-air personalities, where I focused on scheduling, training, and budgeting. I have successfully launched new affiliate stations and curated music strategies that resonate with audiences, all while ensuring compliance with FCC regulations.

My journey in the radio industry has equipped me with a diverse skill set, including digital content creation and marketing strategies that have significantly increased audience engagement. I am passionate about delivering unique content that attracts target demographics and builds brand loyalty.
