See Photos from Shan's Time as a FM106.1 Promotions Assistant!

If you didn't know, I (Shannen) was a "Promotions Assistant" before starting my career on FM106.1 I've technically worked for the station for almost TEN YEARS, starting the summer after my freshman year in college. You can imagine how much black mail is on the computers at work since I do nothing but take pictures, and while there are probably more photos than what's here, I recently stumbled into one photo folder that has a ton of stuff from when I was in promotions. I took a trip down memory lane, and maybe you'd like to, as well! Maybe you'll even recognize me from some of these shows or events when I was just a baby!

Working at the station is the best job I've ever had because you can tell how close I am with a lot of the other promo staffers. In fact, three (technically four, but one was unable to attend due to another wedding - she's so popular!) coworkers stood up in my wedding. We're all very close, and it's always been this way in the iHeart building. I still keep in touch with a lot of the people shown in the pictures today! (don't get it twisted, I'm not bffs with all of these celebrities lol...I'm talking the everyday people)

I tried to caption them with what's going on!

    This has a story - Kevin, Kasey, Sam and I were all PAs together. They had the day off of work, and I had a remote or something - I also wasn't old enough to drink at the time, so I'd usually be the DD. They decided to have a few glasses of wine and get a picture with Santa without me (we had all talked about going to see Santa at some point). I was bitter, so I photoshopped myself in.
