Program and Music Director and Morning Host of 93.1/94.5 KSLG-FM

Job description

I work for the indie/alternative rock station KSLG-FM in Humboldt County! My duties involve procuring new music, scheduling features, creating content, managing radio staff, and becoming a morning person five days a week to host my six-hour morning show!

Why did you choose this program?

I originally intended to go into print as that was my strong area when I transferred. In wanting to explore a little more I thought a radio production class might be a fun way to diversify my skills as I was also interested in audio and video editing. My interest was piqued when I found out about the student-run radio station KRFH, and the rest is history and a lot of midnight radio shows.

How did this program prepare you for your job?

The broadcast journalism program not only helped prepare me for all the technical aspects of my job, but it also allowed me to challenge myself. Being someone who has often been afraid of failure, having motivating instructors and peers was great, and having the opportunity time and time again to push my own creative envelope really gave me the confidence to move forward in a professional direction.

What did you enjoy most about the program?

Having a creative outlet was the most enjoyable thing about my time in the program. We all have interests, stories, experiences that we want to share with others and broadcast allows you to not only choose from a variety of methods, but we are also able to build our message in a way that can be informative, entertaining, heart-wrenching, sad or hilarious. Broadcast helps us help others see how we see and feel how we feel.
