Yvonne kicked off her radio career at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, New Jersey. After holding the positions of Promotions Director, Program Director, and General Manager, she interned with MTV Press Relations. She wrapped up her college radio career by winning an award for her on-air performance and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication.

After completing an internship with MTV Networks, Yvonne was hired in their Original Programming department, producing and coordinating talent for MTV and VH1 Award Shows, among other pilots. In 1997, longing to return to her radio roots, she joined the #1 ranked Adult Contemporary station, in New Orleans, as an on-air personality for B97/WEZB-FM’s overnight slot. She quickly moved to fill in for vacationing full-timers and within 6 months, became the co-host for B97’s first female duo morning show.

In 1999, her quest to return to the East Coast commenced. Yvonne re-located to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to co-host a morning show. She broadened her on-air work to include television and hosted a daily entertainment segment on the local CBS evening news.

As a native New Yorker, Yvonne was pursuing a gig back home when she learned of the partnership between MTV Radio and XM Satellite Radio. She provided the sole voice for MTV’s new 24-hour satellite radio station, in addition to serving as the station’s Assistant Program Director. For two years, she interviewed an exciting mix of musicians and celebrities, including crowd favorites like Will Smith, Nicole Kidman, RUN DMC, LL Cool J and Jersey Boy Jon Bon Jovi…just to name a few!

After having her first 2 children, Yvonne returned to the traditional airwaves of WNEW New York, hosting the 7 to midnight slot. After 3 years and a format switch, Yvonne found a new home in Los Angeles. Now with a 3rd child in tow, Yvonne re-located west to host middays on Star 98.7/KYSR Los Angeles.

And yet another blessing later (code for a 4th child), Yvonne decided to take some time off to be with her children and relocate to Florida.

 

Yvonne spent 15 years co-hosting the morning show with Arthur Crofton until his sad passing in 2024. She has continued to do the show solo ever since. Yvonne has called Jacksonville home for over 18 years and feels more like a native of Florida nowadays than anywhere else!
