Megan Kennedy grew up in Massachusetts but moved to Hayfield, Minnesota in high school and now considers herself a full-on Minnesotan. (with the exception of which pro sports teams she roots for, cuz please.) She's been with KROC since 1999, likes to host in-studio dance parties while on the air, and LOVES that her job keeps her involved with all sorts of fundraisers in our community. She is aspiring to be the Ryan Seacrest of Rochester--along with Radio, she also writes a weekly column (Seen & Heard) for the Rochester Post Bulletin, so if she can just finagle a spot on local TV, she can conquer the world! Her favorite artists on KROC are Maroon 5, Jason Mraz, Katy Perry, and Mr. Justin Timberlake. Even though you may think she’s a sweet girl, deep inside she is a terrible person because this video cracks her up every time! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSYWqkhScU8
