What kind of car do you drive?
I drive a Honda CR-V, which is really good since I'm always on the go and I run around the city a lot for events and photo shoots. I wouldn't say that I'm a big car fanatic--compared to other car nuts who know their automobiles inside out--but I do love cars.
Exactly how much of a car fan are you?
I wouldn't have worked at Jaguar Philippines and Land Rover Philippines--or become a DJ keeping listeners company during their daily commute--if I didn't like cars. I dream of one day owning a Jaguar or a Range Rover. These vehicles really do stand out from the crowd.
How does it feel to be the voice that greets motorists on the road as they go to work every morning?
I really enjoy my job. I remember one instance when I was sharing a personal story about my father, who had recently passed away because of cancer. Later, one of my former classmates from college called me up and told me that my story made her cry--she had also recently lost her father to cancer. I love the fact that each day is a chance to connect with people and do something different. I like that it's an opportunity to tackle and talk about current issues and events that are on the minds of our listeners.
