Born and raised in the Northwest Suburbs, Rebecca has been working in Chicago radio and television since 2003. 

With dreams of being an entertainment reporter, she got her start in radio at a small station that had cows on the property (most days you could hear them mooing on-air.) Since that time, she's worked her way up to B96, the station she grew up listening to, in 2008.

A graduate of Cary-Grove High School and Columbia College Chicago Rebecca loves covering what’s going on locally with the weekly community service show Chicago Connection and keeping you informed with all things entertainment with “What You Missed”.
