While it is hard to say goodbye to STAR 99.1 and the incredible team there, this next chapter of my life is the most important and exciting one yet! If you love Promotions and are looking to work for an amazing radio station, under empowering leadership, with some awesome coworkers then you have found just the place – STAR 99.1!”
