Operations/Programming
Lilja Waliewski :: Operations Manager
What's up WLTL nation I'm Lilja the operations manager here at WLTL, some people call me by Lil J and there is a story for that. Freshman year I was sitting eating my delicious yogurt when this guy who would call me Lil J stood up in front of the whole lunch period and screamed, "LIL J I love you" and handed me a rose. Purest moment of my freshman career. Some fun facts are that my favorite foods are humus and falafel. The best restaurant to go around the Lagrange area is Seven Gates, chefs kiss. I didn't talk until I was four, and now I can't stop talking. I am a Taurus rising, Leo sun, and a Sagittarius moon. If I were to say who the king and queen of WLTL would be, it would be Josh and Keely definitely. I have the tendency to break into dance anytime any place. I enjoy watching thunderstorms and sleeping to raining sounds. I am in fact a girl boss and will continue to serve the WLTL station.

Gabe Lazarski :: Asst. Program Director
I have NEVER broken a bone. That's right! I'm invincible! The only thing stopping me is a intense fear of spiders. Despite popular belief, I can't freestyle that well. Sorry.

Alex Karan :: Engineering Director
I am currently WLTL's Director Of Engineering, working the controls to keep the station on air; doing the dirty work. Music is an important thing, I like to do my part to keep it on air. I'm in a band, in which I play the drums. I manage PA and sound at concerts from time to time. I love music and sound. It's a great thing, and I can't wait to get more people involved with WLTL. I also obsess over bands. Peace.

Matthew Walsh:: Asst. Music Director
mwalsh@wltl.net
I am a Junior at Lyons Township! I love listening to music (duh) but I also really enjoy playing the guitar, piano, bass, and drums in my free time. I'm also very involved with Theater outside of school and love to perform. I love to sing in Choir, Madrigals, and A Capella club here at LT as well. My over quarantine project was to teach myself how to record music, so recently I have been writing some music with a few friends, then we record it in my basement. My favorite color is definitely orange. When it's a nice day out I love to take my Grandpa's bright orange Cadillac for a ride around the area so if you see a massive orange el dorado on the road it's probably me. I come from a proud Irish family, so cornbeef has to be my favorite food (it's a rule). I'm the eighth Matthew Walsh in my family, so I'll have no choice but to name my future kid Matthew. Lastly, 88.1 WLTL is my favorite way to listen to music!!!

Kullen Healy :: Personnel Director
khealy@wltl.net
I'm Kullen. I really love the movie Monster's University. I love me some WLTL. Two truths and lie are that I threw up outside the on-air room, I peed my pants in freshmen year, and I can't tell time on the clock. All of these are true, I didn't lie. Everyone on WLTL management deserves a big old kiss.
