Kat began her radio career behind the mic at a station located in the middle of a corn field in 1994. A little over a year later, it led her to an on-air gig at WDJX 99.7fm in Louisville, Kentucky. From there, she became the mid-day personality and accepted the position as Promotions Director for their sister station WXMA, 102.3fm. She ultimately advanced to become the Music Director and Assistant Program Director for WXMA 102.3fm.
She then packed her bags and made the move to Fort Wayne, Indiana in 2006. Kat accepted a sales position for WLDE 101.7fm briefly then made the foray to television for 3 years as the Assistant Promotions Director for WPTA and WISE TV. She then made the journey back to an on-air position and Promotions Director at WLDE 101.7fm.
Once again, her passion for radio has reemerged and she has now found her way back in radio co-hosting with Andy in the Morning, on MAJIC 95.1.
