Meet Rachel: Your New Voice on Utica’s Lite 98.7

Utica, your mornings are about to get a whole lot brighter! Rachel is ready to bring her fun, light, and loud style to the airwaves.

90s Nostalgia

Rachel’s music taste is a love letter to the 90s - and she’s team 98 Degrees. She once got a personal dance from Jeff Timmons. Judge away. She’s also a sucker for all things cheesy 90s pop, romcoms, and Polly Pocket so expect plenty of throwbacks and nostalgic conversations on air.

A Ghostly Proposal and a Run-In With Fame

Once, she was on a ghostly adventure investigating the paranormal at an old jail and courthouse. While there, she managed to strike the fancy of a resident of the cell block and was proposed to. 

She's also played an extra in a movie with a pretty famous actress. However, apparently, it's "frowned" upon to talk to actresses on set, even if you were paying them a compliment. Who knew!?

A Taste for Travel and Tomato Pie

Rachel is all about chasing the sun and sand. She loves escaping to the beach and basking in the warm weather. But when she’s in town, she’s on a mission to uncover the best Tomato Pie that Utica has to offer. 

The Time Rachel Was on Wheel Of Fortune

Yes, Rachel once graced the stage of Wheel of Fortune… and spun all bankrupts. But she’s not at all bitter… Because as everyone has said, “She looked good.” But that's not the only adventure Rachel has been on. She once witnessed an armed robbery, has a battle wound to this day from one of the most epic childhood games of nighttime hide and seek and a psychic once told her that her spirit animal is a walrus named Wallace.

Bringing the Fun to Utica

Rachel is more than just a voice—she’s here to create a community. Rachel hopes to build connections and spark conversations that matter. Whether you’re commuting, dropping off your kids, or grabbing that first, second or third cup of coffee for the day, she’ll be right there with you, making your mornings more enjoyable. She's currently training to be a reiki master and teacher and she's a certified microblader. 

Join the Journey

From discovering the best local eats to exploring the music scene, Rachel's here to share her experiences and hear yours too. Follow along on social media, tune in every morning, and call in with your own tales, tips, and Tomato Pie recommendations.
