Malden, MAMusic is my life. I love working with our wacky yet
wonderful street team. If you see me at a bar you can
always offer to buy me a Jack & Coke. When I'm not
on a gig, you can find me at Scullers Jazz Club, playing
pool, or somewhere 2000 miles away. For my favorite
movies I'll go with American Beauty, Reality Bites, and
the Lost Boys because those cover Kevin Spacey, falling
for the bad-boy, and the 2 Coreys from the 80s. If you
buy me Coldstone I'll love you forever, preferably Mint
Mint Chocolate Chocolate Chip. And honestly, I don't
embarras easily.. I just laugh at myself, because seriously,
you should never take yourself too seriously.

Being the baby of the bunch has its ups and downs. While you
won't see me partying it up at any clubs around Boston
most colleges around town hurting my family's name just a
little bit more. I'm more or the jet setter of the group.
(November 23rd...put your party hats on) you can catch me at
Because I can't party hard in the US, I'll often be taking
time off head to my favorite spots, Montreal, Cancun,
and Dublin. I've worked at Kiss for two years and they
now actually own my life on a 9-5 basis. I know what you
must be thinking...fulltime BC student, Kiss employee
AND I can look this damn good? It shocks me sometimes too!
Salem, NH
What it's like working at KISS: --- Working at KISS is
probably the most fun job anyone could ever have. Where
else can you say your JOB is to hang out with friends
and other people, interact, give prizes away, and make
KISS fans happy. Don't get me wrong though, it's hard
work behind the scenes, but it's well worth it.
Favorite drink: --- Well, depends if we're talking about
alcoholic or not -- I'm a fan of water and seltzer (which
my friends make fun of me for). If I'm out on the town
for a night, Long Island Iced Teas are the only way to go.
Favorite hangout: --- As geeky as this sounds, I don't
mind chillin' out at home every now and then. I'm NEVER
there, so being able to kick up my feet and relax a bit is
always a plus. Other than that, I love hanging out with
friends, no matter where it is. And I'm a HUGE fan of
the beach.
Favorite movie: ---I don't have just one favorite movie.
I like a bunch. Alpha Dog was pretty good (who knew
JT could act?), I've ALWAYS been a fan of The
Green Mile, and The Departed was probably one
of the best movies I've seen in a while. The SAW
movies were good -- I basically like anything. I'm
not picky.
Favorite snack food---: I'd say it's a tie between
Twizzlers and those Creme Savers yogurts.
Most embarrassing moment: ---
I'd say during my high school graduation.
When my name was called, the entire crowd
went absolutely crazy, which I definitely didn't expect.
So I was raising my hands and playing up to everyone
-- turns out the crowd was going crazy because when my
name was called, two streakers were running right behind
the stage.
What is it like working at kiss? ---Working at KiSS is like a box
of chocolates. Lots of fun.
Favorite Drink? ---a free one (carona w/lime)
Favorite Hangout? ---Anywhere where the laughs and
music flows freely. And Felt.
Musical Interests? --- Real/Underground hip-hop, R&B and
Soul, and absolute club bangers.
Quote to live by? ---"The profesional works til he gets it right.
The expert works until he cant get it wrong."
<!--[if !supportLineBreakNewLine]-->
<!--[endif]-->
In five years? ---I want to have graduated, have travled to
Africa,
and have a job with an intern working under me. (so they can
get my coffee)

Lowell, MA
I was born and raised in Lowell, MA.... What don't laugh...
What's it like working at KISS?--I love it!!! Every week
I meet tons of new people, because the station has me all
over the city of Boston. Whether I'm parting it up at a
downtown hot spot or playing the low key roll at a more
quiet event, I always have fun!!! Now team me up with
the rest of the crew and you betta watch out, because we
always get the party started!!! But the best part is KISS
CONCERT baby.... I'll never forget... it was Kiss Concert
2004 and I got the chance to meet my future husband
(don't I wish) Sean Paul.... Can we say EXCITED to the
extreme..... I'm still on a cloud from that moment.... it was
FREAKIN Awesome MANNN...
What is your favorite drink? Why?--Red Bull and Vodka..
.. Hello the red bull should explain it all, other wise I'll just
have an orange soda!
What is your favorite hang out? Why?-- My house, because
it's where my bed lives.... My friends think I have some sort
of twisted love affair with it or something, but what can I say
it's nice and cushy and I'm tired. Geezz
What is your favorite movie? Why?-- Right now I'd have to
say Borat.... Only because I luv the way he says my name....
Pa-meeela
What is your favorite snack food? -- hummmm I'll take a
pepperoni calzone with extra cheese..... it's not a snack
food but it's my favorite!!!
Most embarrassing moment (ever)?-- Ha Ha nice try..... I'm
not gonna tell you mine but I will tell you all about my best
friend, because it's how we meet! She's gonna kill me, so
we'll just call her Cherry ok. Now picture little 10 year old
Cherry sitting in her fifth grade class room when out of no
where someone lets, not a big but huge one rip (you know
exactly what I mean). Now this is a fifth grade class room
we're talking about so you know as soon as this was heard
everyone in the room was like ewwwwwwwwwww....
Now it probably wouldn't have been such a big deal if
Cherry didn't turn beat red and run yelling out of the class
room I'M NEVER GOING BACK.... But she wasn't
lying, she ran right out of her class room and down the hall
towards the front door never to be seen at that school again.
Can you believe her little 10 year old self ran all the way
home, and actually talked her mother into changing her
schools. Crazy... but if it wasn't for that moment we
would have never meet and became such good friends.

UNH pride
What is it like working at KISS?--It is pretty
much the best job I have ever have. I simply tell people,
"I go out to fun events, listen to music talk on a Mic, and
give away free stuff to people, and get paid for it.
Honestly what could be better.
Favorite Drink?--I will always have a cranberry juice here
and there. However I am going to have to say my favorite
is Lemonade.
Favorite hang out?--Love hanging out at home, when
I'm not at home or working hanging with my friends.
Music interest?-- I like everything music wise. I will
listen from Backstreet Boys to Meatloaf to Michael
Jackson.
Quote to live by--" Focus on the present and the future
will take care of itself" or " Life sucks then you die.
" (Honestly I just think this is a wicked funny quote)
In five years?--I have no idea what so ever, if I had to
guess, hopefully a DJ, on TV as a TV Host, an MC, a
VJ or something along those lines. Mom wants me to
be a doctor, but I highly doubt that's going to happen.
