Deirdre's Bio
I’ve come full circle! As an Emerson College student the most memorable moment was when I got accepted into the internship program at Kiss 108! I grew up listening to Kiss 108. It was my favorite radio station. I started out as an intern on the Matty in the Morning Show. I also interned in the production department and became a “Club Kiss” mixer. It was the knowledge I learned and the people I met during my internship that gave me the ability to work in the music business. I worked for Jive and Giant records, I was director at the Boston Record Pool and I was the resident dj at Mercury Bar (now Gypsy Bar) in Boston. I got back into the radio end of the business working at WWKX-Kix 106FM (now Hot 106FM) in Providence, RI. This led to my job at Kiss 108’s sister station WJMN – Jam’n 94.5FM which was my home for the past 6 years. Now I have a new home here on Kiss 108!

What else should you know about me… 2004 had to be the most challenging year of my life. I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After undergoing surgery and chemotherapy, I’m happy to say that now I am a breast cancer SURVIVOR and I am cancer free (hopefully, for a very long time)! What helped me get through all of this was the support from my amazing family and friends. I’ve learned a few things from this difficult journey… For starters, I appreciate life and the people who are a part of my life. I enjoy every day, even if I don’t do anything special, and I’ve learned to be positive and optimistic. I’m just so happy to be alive and to be working at Kiss 108, the station that inspired me to pursue a career in the radio business!

Congrats to MVP Mike Lowell! He earned it!



As a fellow cancer survivor, I'm so happy for Boston Red Sox cancer survivors Mike Lowell and Jon Lester.  They are proof that you can go on to do great things even after a cancer diagnosis.  They are truly inspiring!
