Jessie Killian General Information Radio Television Broadcasting Major

Employer: Vox Radio Group Froggy 107.1 FM
Position: On Air Personality

Why did you choose a career in a technical field? Funny story, I started off wanting to be a photographer but, when I realized how much time went into one photograph and that I would have to stay still for so long, I decided to go into radio. A DJ is almost aleays needed somewhere.

What do you like most about your college major? Since I am so young (20), my experiences haven't led me too far. I enjoy the music and meeting new people on a daily basis. I am getting paid to have fun!

Please share any Additional information that you feel might be helpful to women considering a technical career: Technology is the best field to get into. There will always be advances in technology and new things happening that will allow several job opportunities. I was told by a good friend in the radio business that if a woman is good at what she does, she can go anywhere she wants. I believe this is especially true in technology careers.
