At Cobb Energy Centre, I managed social media accounts, produced graphics and videos for social content, created and deployed e-blasts and newsletters, designed online advertisements, assisted in creating media plans

For Westwood One, I managed music logs for Contemporary Hits Radio and Hot Adult Contemporary radio stations. Scheduling music requires attention to detail, making sure that all songs all songs flow together well. Time management skills are also important, so affiliates can have access to their music logs in a timely matter. Westwood One distributes the music that I schedule to national syndicated radio stations across the country.

1021 The Sound launched in March of 2017 as a satellite radio station. As the Assistant Program Director, I helped create the brand of the station as a fun, current radio station that is perfect for both listening at work, and listening to with your children in the car. I single-handedly switched the station over from satellite to local programming. I maintained the daily program logs, as well as hosted the mid-day shift on The Sound. My show was full of local content, station promotion and pop culture. I collaborated with the sales and promotions departments of the station to plan station events. I also managed the social media accounts for The Sound and created blog posts for our website.

As the Director of Public Affairs, I provided local nonprofits with a platform to talk about how their organizations positively affect the Savannah area. I researched these nonprofits, interviewed a spokesperson from the organization, and produced the interview for the program called the Coastal Spotlight. The Coastal Spotlight aired weekly on five radio stations.

I had the unique opportunity to be a Programming Assistant for a year at Q100. This is where I learned all the basics of large market radio programming. I learned to schedule music, eventually scheduling daily music logs for Q100. I managed daily program logs and weekend syndicated programming. I created social media posts and website content. I got to learn a little bit of everything from smart, talented people.

This board operator job was my first job in large market radio. It was a simple, but important job, where I maintained program logs for five major market radio stations. I added voice tracks to program logs and ran remote broadcasts. I was the point person where if something were to go wrong, I would make sure the proper people knew.

My main job as a Producer for the Adam Bomb Show was to film, edit, and post artist interviews to YouTube. In total, I produced over 50 interview and performance videos. I also created several creative videos primarily used for social media. I edited and distributed audio daily for Adam Bomb Show affiliates nationwide. I also created social media posts and website content.

My first professional radio experience started while I was in college at a small local station. At Z97, I served as a midday radio personality, and worked as a member of the production and promotion teams.
