About Me

Greetings from my corner of the world! I'm Tiffany, but friends have been calling me "Tiff Griff" since my days as a rambunctious youth in Pinellas County, Florida (check my trademark necklace!) I have also pursued my love of journalism since I was a kid, and I'm happy to say nothing has changed. My family comes from the beautiful island of Barbados, thus making me a Bajan Yankee. Any excuse to gather for a good time with friends and family - I'll find it! That's my life...a work in progress.
Rockin' the mic on Hawaiian T-Shirt Friday at AM850 WRUF - my first news radio gig! Everybody's story has to start somewhere. ;)
