During her time at BW, she worked for the University's radio station, WBWC-FM 88.3 "The Sting." She took on numerous roles such as on-air talent, street team director, promotions director and programming director. In her senior year, she was a 2016 Intercollegiate Broadcasting Society finalist and received a trophy for Best Show Promo for her specialty show, Chart Toppers.

"BW prepared me so much for this job … I wasn't in sports or theatre or even Greek life - I dedicated my four years to WBWC so I could learn as much as I could," said Crummie.

Crummie worked part time for Entercom Radio, formerly CBS Radio, for over a year and a half before being promoted to a full-time spot as the morning show producer at WNCX in August 2017.

STUDENT AND PROFESSIONAL AT THE SAME TIME

Crummie would often end her night shifts at 3 or 4 a.m. then sleep in the campus radio station office for a couple of hours before heading to class.

As show producer, she creates content to be played during news, sports and entertainment updates. In addition to on-air content, Crummie produces content for the web including blog and social media posts.

WNCX is a commercial radio station that launched in 1986. The station is known for being close to the audience it serves - the Cleveland and Northeast Ohio area. It is the only classic rock station that plays rock 'n' roll's greatest hits.
