Successful Sistas: Georgia Ellyse

How did you become interested in radio, modeling and being an entertainer?
I have always been passionate about music and have been fascinated by fashion ever since I can remember. In college, I started hosting a radio show at our online radio station and fell in love with it. Shortly after, I discovered that KMOJ — “The People’s Station — had internships! I applied and started interning immediately, and it’s all been history since then!
Why did you decide to pursue these things as a career?
I decided to pursue this career path because I love what I do. If I am going to be spending 40 hours or more a week doing something, I want to be able to enjoy it!
