Lisa G.: Was born on Long Island, New York. I attended Hofstra University.

Steve: Why’d you get into media?
Lisa:I was the middle child. One of 3 girls. It was my way of being heard. Always loved the radio. I would make a deal with my Dad when I was a kid. He could get to listen to all-news for an hour, then I could get my favorite music
Lisa: WABC and WNEW-FM!

Steve: What’d you think when you heard about working at Howard 100 News?
Lisa: Didn’t think twice. Just said what time should I show up. It’s like being asked to join the Yankees.

Steve: Our news product is rather unconventional. Your thoughts about it?
Lisa: Love it!!!

Steve: Ever get nervous going into the lions’ den that is the Howard Stern show?
Lisa: Working in hip-hop the past 10 years was a great training ground. I’m ready for anything.

Steve: You play in a chamber orchestra I believe. What instrument do you play? Do you perform in public? Tell us about the music and how beautiful it is.
Lisa: I played the violin from 8 years old until I graduated college and then stopped! I missed it very much and decided to try again six years ago. It all came back. I joined an adult chamber music program here in NYC. Each semester we have to perform in a recital at the music school. That’s it. No one’s heard me play, except my cousin Steven who paid me $1. I thought it was such a funny offer, I played for him.

Steve: Anything else you think we should add?
Lisa: Hope the Howard 100 listeners are having as much fun listening, as I am working here.

Steve: Thank you Lisa.
Lisa: Anytime.

Steve: Why do you like working in the media?
Lisa: I love knowing I could make a difference. From making someone laugh to informing them on an important story.
