I've been at WBKR for 25 years and have loved every second of it! I'm also the director of our Christmas Wish program which helps needy families over the holiday season. I love to be creative, artistic, going to concerts and our community. My passion is for homeless animals, curing childhood cancer, veterans, and anyone in need. My husband is Chris Arnold, and my furbabies are Lucy and Coco Chanel. They are all the light of my life! In my spare time, you may find me shopping clearance deals, reading a good book, or hanging out with friends at our favorites restaurants. I'm blessed to have such a wonderful life!
