Hey kids! I'm Jenn Barnes from Morning KIX!
Let's see...where do I begin? Well, it was a dark and stormy night back in 1983...
Okay, okay...I'll give you the shortened version. I grew up in a tiny town in Central Illinois and have been involved in radio since I was 8 years old. I was in a youth radio program at the local country station, and by age 16, I was working there part-time. I went to college at Eastern Illinois University (Go Panthers!) and received a degree in Communication Studies, all the while working for the student radio station as an afternoon DJ, and later a morning show co-host. After graduation, I returned home to my local country station and worked there until moving to Joplin!
As you can probably tell, I absolutely love working in radio! Come on...I get paid to be a goof all morning and listen to great music. You can’t go wrong there! I L-O-V-E country music...some of my favorites include Blake Shelton (duh!), Sugarland, Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, Lady Antebellum and Randy Travis…ok, so I have a lot of favorites!
I’m also a huge TV nerd. I will not answer the phone or doorbell when LOST or Grey’s Anatomy is on...and usually after watching, I feel qualified to give my friends medical advice. I also love sitcoms like Friends, The Office, How I Met Your Mother, and The Big Bang Theory. I recently discovered DVR and I'm convinced it's the best invention in the entire world, AND I've recently become slightly (and by slightly I mean insanely) obsessed with all things Twilight and Harry Potter. One day I will marry Edward Cullen. I’m a big fan of theatre, especially musicals, so if you ever pull up next to me in traffic you’ll probably catch me singing, as obnoxiously as I can! I also love going to movies and hockey games, working out (ok I don't really LOVE working out...but it's become a habit), eating sushi, shopping, and laughing!
