LAST BOOK I READ: Hunger Games
MOST-MEMORABLE ON-AIR MOMENT: I was interviewing Tommy Lee, and someone dared him to "make out" with me. He did. Eww.
10 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME: 1) When I was 8-years-old, I co-hosted America's Thanksgiving Day Parade with Chuck Gaidica & Carmen Harlan right here in the D! 2) I'm the voice of the "Weather Girl" in Grand Theft Auto IV; Simmer down, boys ... All of my "dirty talk" was totally scripted. 3) I was Valedictorian of my high school class (Grosse Ile High School, Go Red Devils!) and also #1 in the journalism school at Butler University in Indianapolis. Yes, I'm a self-proclaimed DORK. 4) I color-coordinate all of my clothes. 5) Only a few days before I took the job with Channel 955, I was selected to be a part of ABC's The Bachelor. No roses for me! 6) I have an obsession with cupcakes. Not just eating 'em, either ... I have cupcake EVERYTHING in my house: PJs, aprons, dishes, mugs, lipgloss, lotions, mints, recipe books, throw pillows, cookie jar, sneakers, shirts, even UNDERWEAR. 7) I can't swim! 8) I filled in for Kelly Ripa on "LIVE! with Regis & Kelly." 9) Yup, that's ME in those Art Van Clearance Center commercials. 10) I'm getting married on May 26, 2012!
