Announcer

I’ve been having a blast working at Cat Country since 2001, and co-hosting the Cat Country Morning Show with the awesome Rod DeViller since 2008.

Random Mandy-Facts

I’ve been married to my best friend, Brett, since 2010
We have two cats – Moka & Setzer – and they are our babies
I keep a tire gauge in my purse
I almost lost an eye to an exploding campfire marshmallow
I love bass fishing – but never catch anything
My favourite card game is '45's
I can spend half an hour in the cleaning supply aisle checking out the scents
I like cold pasta and cold peanut butter toast
I'm double jointed in my fingers
I probably read every The Baby-sitters Club and Sweet Valley High book back in the day
I sing all the time but have never, and will never, do karaoke. Too chicken!
