Hello, I am Erika Mahoney, a seventeen year old junior at Fairview High School in Boulder, Colorado. I was born in Pasadena, California and even though the Rockies are beautiful, I really miss the ocean. Anyway, I love to write, sing, dance, play piano, read, act, participate in Model UN, swim, and, of course, produce radio shows. I have been a teen radio producer for KGNU Boulder for over two years now. I got interested in the youth program there after I took a summer course in radio. Soon after, I joined the youth group called Overdub: Youth Radio Outloud. I love being able to produce radio shows because it is such a great opportunity to be able to voice my opinion and the opinions of other teenagers. Journalism is definitely my passion and I plan on studying journalism in college. I write for our school newspaper, I produce radio shows for KGNU, and when I grow up, my dream is to become a television news reporter.
