Amber Ridgeway, Business & Traffic Assistant at B101.5

Hello! I'm Amber Ridgeway and I'm the Business & Traffic Assistant at B101.5. I was born in Prince William County. My parents moved to Stafford County when I was 3 years old, which is where I spent most of my school years until the 11th grade when we moved to Spotsylvania County. During my middle school years, I loved being on the track & field team at Stafford Middle. GO SPARTANS! I was an avid sprinter and was quite fast, as set many school and county records. My junior and senior years were spent at Spotsylvania High where I graduated with honors in 2003. Along that journey, I met my good friend Johnna, whom I am still good friends with today.

Here are some fun facts about me!

I have an amazing niece, Emma (10) and a super sweet nephew, Ronnie (3) who I love spending time with and spoiling, like awesome Aunts are supposed to do.

I love food and I make it a rule, that if I'm "out of town" I will not eat at a place that has food that I could easily make at home. I love trying new food places!

I am a longtime fan of the Washington Capitals and I'm super excited to watch Ovechkin go for the title of #1 goal scorer in the NHL… he's definitely going to surpass Gretzky.

My favorite T.V. show: most definitely The Office. For some reason if I can't find anything current to watch… The Office will never let me down!

I love to travel and see new sights…. beach, mountains, and beautiful sunsets… those are my kind of things! Sunny and 75 is my kind of weather.

Must say that I do LOVE my concerts! I have been to A LOT over the years. In 2022 alone, I have been to at least 50-60 concerts. Some of which have included: Phil Collins, Post Malone and Roger Waters of Pink Floyd in DC. My boyfriend David and I even traveled to see Metallica in Pittsburgh.

Before working at B101.5, I worked as a Patient Services Specialist at Urological Associates of the Piedmont in Warrenton Va. I assisted patients in the office, made appointments and dealt with the insurance side of getting authorizations for surgical procedures.

When I got the opportunity to be the Business & Traffic Assistant at B101.5/ WFVA back in May 2022 I was so excited! I've listened to the B since I was a kid. My job duties includes: greeting listeners and clients, inputting commercial sales orders and scheduling those onto the radio log. Many other office tasks, including helping our wonderful Business

Manager, Kristie with "all the things" and making sure the candy and coffee is stocked for Jeremy Grey.

I am thankful that I work for this amazing local station. I've learned so much about radio. There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes and I'm happy to be apart of it. Everyone here at the station is just so nice, from Management to the radio jocks & Sales, we are like a little family. I love coming to work and getting to be a part of essentially everyone's day who listens to B101.5.
