I am originally from Baltimore, Maryland, but I have lived in the Ark-La-Tex for a long time. I am a graduate of Bossier Parish Community College with a degree in Broadcasting. After graduating from BPPC, I continued my education at Louisiana State University in Shreveport. I graduated from LSUS with a degree in Journalism. I have been a member of the Townsquare Media/Shreveport family for many years, and I have worn several hats in the office. You can hear me on KEEL radio each weekday morning. I am the producer for the Robert and Erin show. While I do a lot of work behind the scenes to make the show happen each day, I also get to join the conversation and provide my input on the topics we cover each day. On a personal level, my interests include music and learning about the history of our community. On our website, you will find that I enjoy writing articles about my interests as well as news that impacts the Ark-La-Tex. Make sure to listen to Robert & Erin each weekday morning and follow KEEL News on our social media platforms.
