I learned I was better at bossing people around, being organized, and keeping a hand in all aspects of the radio station, as opposed to being on the air.

SUE SAYS
At the age of six, Heather would sit and listen to her uncle on the radio and found it fascinating. She would never lose that love of listening to a voice over the airwaves that felt like listening to a friend. She would go on to become one of the most successful women in the industry with a love of running the show, as opposed to being on air. A lesson I learned from Heather is to always take advantage of the next opportunity!
