Morning Show Host Bancroft is like my second home. I spent every summer here with my family, at the cottage my great grandfather built from the ground up just north of town, since the day I was born. I grew up in a small town with a population no bigger than Bancroft, with my neighbours being a corn field and cows. I'm a small town girl with a big smile! I graduated from Fanshawe College's Radio Broadcasting program in 2015 and jumped right into the radio scene as the weekend announcer for Haliburton's Moose FM. And when the chance came to move to Bancroft, I jumped once again. (It's been great exercise for my leg muscles) I fill my spare time with video games and reading or walking my beloved dog, Zelda. I also love to sew and always have a project going on the kitchen table. I always have a smile on my face and am happy to talk to people; so don't be afraid to stop by or drop a line and chat in the morning!
