Amy Flaherty joined KNOM as a volunteer in June 2002.  After two years, she became a permanent staff member, and serves as public affairs director.  You'll also hear her deejaying the mid-day program.

Raised in Cottage Grove, MN, Amy graduated from the College of St. Benedict in 2002 with a degree in communications and English. 

In addition to working at the KNOM mission, Amy is a juvenile justice officer part-time at Nome's youth detention facility.  She enjoys reading, especially the classics, and she likes to bike, which can be challenging on Nome's gravel streets.  A friend gave her a harmonica last year, and she plans to learn how to play it, and to learn to knit.
