She worked in tv for nine years and last worked with CNN Newsource, before getting her masters and making the transition to radio.
"as megan's producer, I experienced first-hand how quickly she works under deadline pressure and never misses a beat. she's also able to switch on a dime as breaking news happens and stories develop.
