I was born in Columbus Indiana and love it so much I never left! I live here with my Boyfriend Joe, 20 year old daughter Amelia, 16 year old son Ivan, and 12 year old stepson Sirius.
After being a stay at home mom for 10 years I worked for the Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation until my friends on the Q Wake-Up Crew invited me to join them! I love having fun on-air but my favorite part of working for RRPI is getting to know our listeners!
A few of my favorite things include:
Being a Band Mom
My boyfriend Joe
King of the Hill
and my furry fam… our dog – Rocky and our 4 cats – Honey, Galaxy, Alistair, and Edith Ann!
If you don’t hear me on QMIX 107.3 you can catch me taking care of these kids, binging true crime, and listening to our sister station MOJO 102.9.
Meet Kylan!

I was born and bred in Jennings County and graduated from IUPUC with a bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies and a minor in Creative Writing. I’m enjoying the rest of my 20s as I ascend to my 30s.
Most recently I was the lead reporter of my local newspaper which made me fall in love with my hometown of North Vernon. I’m dedicated to promoting the wonderful qualities of this fine community as well as participating in its continued growth and betterment. I love the QMIX family and am so grateful they allow me to promote my community to our lovely listeners.
I love reading, writing, nature, travel, fashion, good conversation, good company, making memories, life and – most importantly – Jesus Christ.
