Hello, my name is Rebekah and I was born and raised here in Southwest Michigan. After graduating from Michigan Tech in the beautiful U.P. I joined the Townsquare Media team and the radio stations I grew up listening to. When I am not creating content at the station, I enjoy hiking long trails with my dog, reading in my hammock, and exploring new cities.
