Deborah Soares

A native of New Bedford, I am happy to be working at the radio station that I grew up listening too. I vividly remember listening to the Top 7 at 9 when I was younger, counting down Salt -N- Pepa "Whatta Man", Paperboy's "Ditty", and "Very Special" by Big Daddy Kane and Spinderella. I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree from Wagner College on Staten Island, NY. I was lucky enough to live and work in New York City. I gained television experience through a production internship on The Sally Jessy Raphael Show. I moved back to New Beige in 2003 and JR changed my life when he gave me an internship and my first job in radio. I've met my husband and some of the greatest people here at FUN 107. Now, I enjoy life as a mom. It's the hardest but most rewarding of all my jobs! My Fav Things To Do: Reading a great book Mad Men Spending time with my family Jogging Listening to music My Top Five Artists Madonna Michael Jackson Nelly Furtado Nas Lady Gaga
