So, after working at various fields -- basically anything and anywhere but radio broadcasting -- I finally got impatient and decided to follow my passion, once and for all. We only live once!

I quit my full-time job in the summer of 2007, and enrolled at Seneca's radio broadcasting program. Everything fell in to place after that: I got engaged, and amidst all the wedding planning and school work, I also got my foot in the door at 680News as an intern, by spring of 2008.

The rest as they say, is history. I graduated with high honours, got married, and I was finally on the air as a news anchor (a dream come true) before the year ended.

Yes, working overnights does have its challenges, but what an exhilarating ride it has been! It's so exciting to "be the first to know" when news breaks, and to work at Canada's number one radio station for breaking news.

I know I still have a lot to learn in this business, that is why I remain humbled in the presence of radio greats in the newsroom. I am especially grateful for the support from veteran broadcasters who encourage me to do better and keep me grounded with constructive criticisms. Keep 'em coming, and thank you!
