Hello! I am a Champaign-Urbana native, born and raised here with only a brief stint living in southern California. I recently graduated from the University of Illinois Graduate School of Library and Information Science. My primary area of LIS interest is in Competitive Intelligence. I am looking forward to working in the CI field and learning more about accessing, retrieving and analyzing business information.

Outside of school, I am a huge music fan. I like classical, baroque, techno, house, ambient, jazz, swing, funk, gothic, and lately I am really into Latin rock from Argentina, Cuba, Mexico and Venezuela. On weekends I work as a Classic Rock DJ for 105.9 FM WGKC and also help out at WEFT 90.1 FM.

In 1998 I was the voice on Volition Software's "FreeSpace" the followup effort to Volition's critically acclaimed "Descent" space warfare video game. (You can download the FreeSpace Demo at: http://www.volition-inc.com/fs/downloads.cfm) I also pursue acting as a hobby, performing in "Wit" at the Station Theatre last Fall, and I am currently starring in Health Alliance's "Custom Choice" television commercial airing locally on WCIA (CBS), WICD (NBC) and WCCU (Fox). This was my first paid television appearance! I would really love to do more.

Work has always been very important to me, and over my lifetime I have usually had at least two jobs. Besides WGKC, I am lucky to have a Graduate Assistant position in the Library & Information Science Library and in my spare time (LOL!) I also work for Skynetworks, a local wireless Internet service provider.
Ciao!
