Congratulations, Interns!: HPPR Honors Amarillo Students

Cameron Plumley shows off his favorite music, and Jennifer Ugalde shows off what a big heart she has.

While we know you tune in for the news and music, High Plains Public Radio puts the education of our student interns at the tippy-top of our priority list. Today, HPPR is honored to announce the graduation of our three Amarillo-area interns: Isabelle Link (Amarillo College), Cameron Plumley (Amarillo High School), and Jennifer Ugalde (Tascosa High School). These brilliant, driven students have shown HPPR’s staff and partners that the future of the High Plains is in very good hands. We thank them for showing up, putting in focused effort to advance the station’s mission, and maintaining the most cheerful dispositions despite balancing school, gainful employment, and a global pandemic. We love you, interns. Congratulations, and thank you for all you have done for public radio on the High Plains!

Jenny Inzerillo joined HPPR in 2015 as the host of High Plains Morning, our live music program that airs weekdays at 9 am to noon CST. Broadcasting from KJJP in beautiful downtown Amarillo, she helps listeners wake up with inspired music from our region and beyond. Tune in for new voices in folk/Americana, deep cuts from your favorite artists, soulful tracks from singer/songwriters across the world, and toe-tapping classics dating as far back as the 1920s. Plus, discover underground greats that just might be your new favorite band.
