Melissa Brooks

Hey there, I'm Melissa! I'm newly married,and trying to figure out how to be an adult. My husband and I have 2 dogs, Wrigley & George (I've always thought it was funny when dogs had people names). When I'm not on air, I'm either at the gym or watching my Chicago Cubs play! Growing up my report cards always said "Melissa is a social butterfly" which was a nice way of my teachers saying "Melissa talks too much" so throw that in with my love of music, and I'd say radio and I are a pretty good match!

I remember back in college I had an advertising teacher that told us about this Budweiser commercial, to this day when I see this it gives me chills. Now this commercial only aired once and it was at Superbowl 2002.
