I am an ATL native…I’ve lived in Marietta for almost my whole life. I went to Pope High School and graduated in 1999. I took a year or two off and then decided I wanted to go back to school. I found a fantastic program at Chattahoochee Technical College that was totally entertainment based. I was part of the first group of students to complete the program. In 2003, I graduated with a degree in Entertainment Technology. If you’re looking to get into the entertainment industry…it’s a GREAT program to look into!

I've been given an unbelievable opportunity to join all the fantastic people on the Beat staff to keep 95.5 the number one station in Atlanta! We are all extremely blessed to have such an awesome job and be able to live what we love.

When I'm not at work I am usually out with friends, or at home with the love of my life…a Manchester Terrier/Chihuahua named Lola …she is my baby! My family is extremely important to me. I have two younger brothers, Jon & Gedde. My parents are the best, especially to put up with me for so long! I also have TWO beautiful little Goddaughters…Kayla & Leighton.

Enough about me…why don't you come out and meet me in person and tell me a little about yourself! I'm always running around the city and I love to hear from y'all!

Take care and KEEP LISTENING!

All my love,
Kara
