Station Co-Manager
Hi everyone! My name is Camille and I'm one of KJACK's Station Managers this year! I love spending time at the station but outside of school I also love the outdoors, reading, traveling and just exploring new places. I originally joined KJACK because I wanted to not only hear my music on the station but also because I wanted to have a platform where I could share good music with others — something I absolutely love to do!
Natalie Davis

I joined KJACk because I’ve always have had an interest in radio and it was a great chance to experiment with it as well as get some experience to see if it was for me! My favorite hobby is rock climbing, and one of my goals is to be a published novelist.

I joined KJACK because I love writing about news with The Lumberjack and thought it would be cool to see how that translates on air.
Fun facts:
When I was younger, Barbara Streisand said she thought I had potential as an actress.
Me and my friends listened to the crazy frog CD on loop three times on a road trip once.
Yo, My name is Jason and I am the director of the production department at KJACK radio! I am currently a junior studying strategic communications and I am going into my fifth semester here at KJACK. When I got to NAU, KJACK was one of the classes I was most excited for, and I have loved my time in it thus far. Some other facts about me is that I’m Canadian, I love music, play lead guitar in a band, and I love snowboarding. I’m looking forward to working with you all and having a great semester!
MAX Schrader
Music Manager
Hey, I'm Max! This is my third semester with KJACK and my first semester working as the music manager! The only things I love more than music are people and their stories, which is why I'm majoring in both anthropology and art history here at NAU. In my free time, I love being in nature, and I'm trying my hardest to improve on taking care of plants, as well. Otherwise, my life is all about creating and sharing art with others! Joining KJACK was a life-changing choice for me, as it got me involved in so many creative opportunities on campus that I never would have had access to before!
