Why Leighton Media:
The music, people I work with, and community. Every day brings something new, plus my job is pretty awesome! I couldn't imagine myself anywhere else.
Most Memorable LM Career Moment:
While attending a seminar, I took a tour of NASH-FM when Kix Brooks ( I loved Brooks and Dunn as a kid, by the way - what 90's kid didn't?!) and he invited myself and two other women into his studio. He poured us a glass of wine from his vineyard, picked up his guitar and played three songs for us!
Personal Motto:
Hustle & heart will set you apart.
Favorite Song of All-time and Why:
Life is a Highway by Rascal Flatts, because life is a highway - enjoy the ride!
Desert Island Album:
Rearview Town by Jason Aldean.
