Born and raised in Houma, I have lived in Lafayette and Baton Rouge since 2017. I am a mom, Senior Communications Manager at BREC's Baton Rouge Zoo, family business owner, and on-air at 100.7 Tiger as Bri Lynn! I have three boys named Colston and twins—Rowan and Reeves. I graduated in 2013 from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (Geaux Cajuns!) with a B.A. in Broadcasting and English. My radio career started in 2011 when I was on the air and held multiple management titles at 94.5 KSMB (Lafayette) and 101.5 WYNK (Baton Rouge). While working in radio, I also worked in TV news and other jobs. Now, I have gone communications with my career, but I still do radio because I love it so much! As a mom who does not stop and wears many hats, I also love fitness, sports, being outdoors, eating out with family and friends, and traveling.

Hi, I’m Ronnie! I’m married to my husband Jonovon and we have a beautiful 2 year old daughter. In 2019 I graduated Esthetician School which is where I gained a love for Skincare.

Fun fact, I am also a pageant mom! My favorite things include spending time with my family, watching my favorite shows and Holiday Hallmark movies. I also love trying new recipes and baking.
