I am a proud native of the Bangor area and have a deep love for this region, the state, and the unique quirks that come with living here. I graduated from Brewer High School and pursued a degree in Mass Communications with a focus on Radio Broadcasting at The New England School of Communications on the campus of Husson University. Having had the opportunity to work here briefly in the past, I'm delighted to be rejoining this superb team! Aside from listening to tunes on Q106.5, I enjoy spending time with friends, playing basketball (although I’m MUCH better at watching), and exploring new hiking spots with my Goldendoodle. I'm also known to enjoy a cold beer or seltzer on occasion. I am thrilled to be back in the country music scene, connecting with new people, and immersing myself in this wonderful community that Bangor has to offer. I'm excited to continue to appreciate the many things that make our area so special. There's so much catching up to do, and I can't wait to be a part of it all!

Should Maine Consider Changing Its ‘Last Call’ Time?

But with other New England states like Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut serving alcohol until 2 a.m., some folks are wondering whether Maine should follow suit and push back its last call.
