Joanna Bz DJ Profile

My name is pronounced Jo-AN-uh BE-zee. 

I started volunteering with CHIRP in the spring of 2019 and started dj'ing that fall. I have been acting like a morning person since 2020 by taking a 6-9am shift. I was in theater, improv, and bands for many years and today get my extracurriculars via this beautiful radio station. 

You can listen to Joanna's two most recent shows below:
