As a volunteer DJ at CHIRP Radio (107.1 FM), I host live, locally focused programming that showcases a diverse range of independent music across genres. I curated playlists highlighting emerging, lesser-known, and Chicago-based artists, while producing engaging on-air content. My role involved contributing to storytelling that amplifies Chicago’s arts, culture, and community voices, in collaboration with a team of volunteers delivering daily broadcasts and special programming. I also support station events, fundraising efforts, and community outreach initiatives, promoting content aligned with CHIRP’s nonprofit, community-driven mission. Additionally, I contributed to advocacy and public engagement efforts aimed at advancing equitable access to community radio.
