Kari - 98.1 The Hawk

Hey there! My name is Kari and I’m so happy to be on the SouthCoast. I was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, went to college at Washington State University, and most recently moved to the SouthCoast from Utica, New York. I’m definitely a big football fan, and being from Seattle, I'll always be a Seahawks fan who's bitter about the ending of Super Bowl XLIX. I’m brand new to the area, so feel free to share your favorite things to do, places to eat and bars to grab a drink on the SouthCoast. If you have any recommendations, feel free to shoot me a message on the Fun 107 app.
