I'm Laurie...holdin' down the Point studio weekdays from 10-3p and Saturdays 8p-midnight! I mostly grew up in Marlboro and now live in Red Bank. In the studio you'll usually find me checking out my social media pages or looking for funny or interesting stories to talk about. Outside the studio, I'm a total foodie, and I love to travel to new places! Other loves include Penn State (my alma mater), The Real Housewives franchises (guilty pleasure), and generally pretending like I know what I'm doing (Fake it 'til ya make it!). Oh, and my husband Duzzy is pretty cool too.
