Dorothy Hernandez is Digital Editor for 101.9 WDET, creating and adapting content for digital platforms. Prior to joining WDET, she was managing editor of Model D and editorial director for Issue Media Group. This is not her first stint with WDET; in 2018 she had an opportunity to tell food stories through a partnership between Feet in 2 Worlds and WDET. She is thrilled to be back in the WDET fold.

Her love of radio began when she had a radio show in college when she and her roommate played '80s music in the middle of the night.
