Where are you from?
Lake Oswego, Oregon.
What’s your major?
Biology and economics double major… but I might switch the economics to a history major.
Why did you choose to come to Colby?
My dad went here, and when I visited I fell in love with the campus. Also, liberal arts colleges are the cool thing to do now.
What’s your favorite part about Colby?
The incredible resources, especially the professors. The campus is gorgeous, but when it comes down to it the professors are what make Colby so special.
What are you involved in on campus?
I spend a lot of time in the library… but I am also the assistant manager of the radio station, WMHB, which is what I spend the majority of my time doing outside of class work. I also DJ for a lot of different events both on and off campus, which is always fun. I DJ everything from all-school dances to local fundraisers. I am also in the process of starting a Colby underground racing club… er, auto club.
What’s your favorite part about running the radio station?
There is so much that I love about running WMHB. Besides the obvious fact that I get to spend a lot of time listening to music, I really enjoy working with different people. As the assistant manager, I get to interact with all the DJs who have shows, and train them on how everything works. This has been an awesome way to meet new people, and make a lot of new friends. I also get to have the opportunity to talk to people across the country about radio through conferences and online forums. This is awesome because I get to share my passion with people who also enjoy radio. The technical aspect of the radio station is also really interesting to me. I enjoy learning about how all the different components function, and working to keep the radio station running smoothly when something goes wrong (which happens quite often).
Why did you decide to get so involved with the radio station?
I have always loved listening to the radio, and being a professional DJ through high school I knew that when I got to college I wanted to get involved with radio right away. So I did!
Most memorable moment as DJ Fall Line?I have had a lot of cool moments as a DJ. I have been able to meet a lot of interesting people, and have had a lot of pretty crazy and unique experiences (especially DJing for weddings…). This past weekend I had the ability to open up for Coyote Kisses, and that was a blast. Definitely one to remember.
What’s your plan for after college?
Global domination through dance music? Haha. Just kidding. I actually have no idea. Part of me is still holding on to my childhood dream of being a race car driver though.
