AMANDA SHARON

I started working in radio when I was 19 years old at the station licensed to the university I was attending. I saw a brochure on campus that said “Call for Internships” so I did.  To my surprise they actually called me back!  I was lucky enough to get an interview and when I was asked what I knew how to do I answered    “Um nothing?….” Despite having no experience, I was allowed to start as a student assistant.  I spent many years in the basement of the fine arts building at the university (where the station was) and it was there I learned how amazing the world of radio is, and of course I was hooked.  After college I spent 10 years on the air in Milwaukee and a year in Colorado both at community stations.  My allegiance and loyalty to non-profit community radio runs deep.  I am so excited to be a part of the team at The Avenue and to be sharing music on the air again.

When I am not doing the radio thing, you’ll find me on my bike, in my running shoes, or spending time with my three kids and husband.  We love summers in Michigan’s UP and cheering on the Packers in winter.
