Rachelle Carter

Rachelle Carter has been with Brooke Communications for a total of 18 years. She has done just about every job that has to do with radio. She started out spinning records overnight, doing board-op duties, and assisting the traffic director. She later became the traffic director, had a midday on-air radio shift, and assisted the National Sales Director. Today, she is the Vice President and National Sales Director (though she hates titles). "I see a job that needs to be done and I do it. We do at BCI. No job is too small, or too big, for that matter."
