Meet the Executive Board – Amy Garlesky (’18)

Hey y’all! My name is Amy (she/her) and Iโ€™m the station manager at WWPV. Iโ€™m a senior from Cleveland, OH and Iโ€™m graduating this May with a degree in philosophy and political science. On the side, I also work as a freelance writer for sites like Bandcamp or The Le Sigh and I also run my own record label, OK Tapes.

As station manager, I act as the head executive of the station. This means that I assemble the E-board, run meetings, communicate with the Student Association, and make sure everything in the station is running smoothly (bills are paid, DJs are scheduled, etc.)

Since Iโ€™m graduating this May, my time at WWPV is running out and as sad as I am, Iโ€™m excited for a new E-board to take the reigns! Weโ€™ve done a lot this year on-campus working with the S.A. and off, working with the local promoter, hope all is well to put on a spring series downtown.

Top five artists in 2018 that are blowing my mind:

Renata Zeiguer

Anna McClellan

U.S. Girls

Long Neck

Emily Yacina

 

Albums Iโ€™m looking forward to this year:
