Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, Destini began her college journey at Eastern Nazarene College. After the school closed, she transferred to Mount Vernon Nazarene University (MVNU), where she is now a junior making a meaningful impact across campus.
Destini serves as an on-air DJ for WNZR while also working as the Communication Department Assistant. In this role, she helps keep the department organized by ensuring equipment like cameras are returned on time and that everything stays in order behind the scenes. In addition to her work in radio, she supports the theatre department with social media and contributes to Lakeholm Viewer, showcasing her creativity and dedication to storytelling.
One of Destini’s favorite memories comes from stepping into a lead role at the last minute during a theatre production—a moment that highlights her adaptability and passion for the arts. She also enjoys campus traditions like Oaktoberfest and Sonfest. When it comes to music, her favorite artists include Josiah Queen and Forrest Frank. Outside of work and school, Destini loves tacos and burritos—especially with sour cream—and spends her weekends exploring coffee shops around Ohio with friends. Iced coffee is always her go-to.
Destini draws inspiration from Walt Disney, whose films she grew up watching. Among her favorites are Cinderella, Tangled (Rapunzel), and the more recent film Luca. A fun fact about her is that she was on a bowling team in 5th and 6th grade—and she still has her jersey to this day.
Over the summer, Destini felt a call to ministry and has since traveled to different countries as she continues seeking where God is leading her. Her favorite Bible verse, Psalm 18:17, reflects her faith journey: “He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from my foes, who were too strong for me.” She sees this verse as a reminder of God’s protection and care throughout her life.
You can tune in to hear Destini live on WNZR on Mondays from 2–3 PM and Tuesdays from 1–2 PM.
