Paula Garrett
Paula started working in radio when she was living in Sydney, Australia, and hosting a blues show that was syndicated across Australia and New Zealand.
When she moved back to Illinois, she joined WNIJ as a host for several years of the Saturday Night Blues.
A transplanted Southerner -- her slight southern accent is from Memphis -- Paula keeps coming back to Illinois from her various travels and now lives in Geneva.
Besides radio, research, music, and traveling, her passions include open water swimming and film.
