Amanda Forrester-News
I grew up in South Lyon, where I still currently live with my dog Winston. Every year my friends and I check our favorite bands’ websites to make sure we can get tickets for their summer tours.
Music is a huge part of my life and I usually have music on in the background. I like a lot of different genres, but I’ve had a love of 80’s pop and one hit wonders since I was little.
I graduated from Oakland University with a degree in Communications after taking some time out to teach preschoolers and work in a couple of daycares. I planned to work in the news after graduation.
After getting a job at WWJ, I fell in love with radio and it opened up a whole new world for me. I previously went to school at Northern Michigan University and spent most of my
summers growing up with my grandparents in Munising.
I’m thrilled to be part of the WHMI News Team !
