Isaac Pineda | Music Director

Hi I'm Isaac! I'm a biochemistry and Spanish major and also the music director here at KRUX. Which means that, with the help of my interns, we decide what kind of music we play on air. It's a lot of fun, thank you!"

Dean Helmer | Production Director

What's up! My name is Dean and I am the production director here at KRUX. I'm in charge of making sure the sounds of KRUX are in tune and ready to be heard by you. I am a fine arts major which means I live and breathe creativity of all forms, especially music. In my free time I like to game, play guitar, and make art. I have been a part of KRUX for about two years and plan to make this year even better.

Lilli Ruvalcaba | Programming Director

Hi everyone! My name is Lilli, and I'm an Art & English major with a minor in Entomology. This is my second year in Programming, which means managing music, voices, and anything/everything else played on air. Basically, at the end of the day it is my job to make sure KRUX's sound stays consistent, fresh, and full of student voices; so safe to say, I'm always tuned in. When not in office you can find me outdoors looking at bugs, drawing, or doing some kind of craft. I love the arts and the act of simply creating, I'm always looking for new ways to express myself and how I feel and music plays a big role in everything that I do.

Trenton White | Assistant Programming Director

Hello! My name is Trenton White and I’m the Assistant Programming Director for the 26-27 school year! I’m a political science and history double major, but more importantly I love music more than anything. Some of my favorite memories are going to concerts, listening to my fav artists for the first time, and helping out with whatever at KRUX. Additionally, I love sports (go panthers), and being a member of other clubs like Model UN and ASNMSU.
