The (EXECUTIVE) crew
Nate Shinners | General Manager
Yo! My name's Nathaniel, but most people just call me Nate! I'm the General Manager for KRUX. If I'm not moshing next to you in some hole-in-the-wall concert, I'm probably swerving past you on my board. I grew up on classic hip-hop, R&B, and jazz but then found myself moving more towards indie and punk once I hit college. Music Is my biggest passion. Nothing makes me happier than an awesome guitar rift and a crazy drummer. I am really happy to be working at KRUX. Music just brings the best people together, and I'm happy it brought me here. KRUX was my door into the music industry, so I’m determined to offer that same opportunity to others.
Adara Walker | Music Director
Hey cool kids, I’m Adara, your go-to person for everything music at KRUX 91.5 FM. I’m the mastermind (I wish) behind the music you’re tuning into.
I grew up in Southern California and graduated from Clovis, New Mexico. Currently, I’m knee-deep in my senior-ish year, pursuing a biochemistry degree.
Though my academic pursuits are in chem labs, my true passion lies in the vibrant world of music and media. Planning concerts here at KRUX has been the most insane experience! Nothing compares to the thrill of live music—I’m always on the hunt for the next big gig! If there were a job for being a professional fan, you know I’d be at the top of the list.
Besides my all-consuming music life, you’ll find me in the great outdoors—hiking and camping are my go-to adventures. I'm a total cinephile film bro and will dissect your favorite movie to a pulp. My wardrobe is my playground, I LOVE playing dress up in my own closet- I’d say I have pretty killer taste. Most of all I just wanna make people smile wherever I go. I’m a lover girl after all…
In the grand scheme of things, my goal is simple: to make a positive impact, whether through exploring genetic code or a sweet jam sesh. So, if you need a biology tutor or just want to chat about the latest album releases, I’m here for you!
Taylor Anderson | Production Director
Hey it’s Tay! This is my second year working for KRUX and this year I am the Production Director. I am a sophomore this year and am majoring in digital filmmaking. I’ve always had the creative bug, and have known that I want to do something in that realm, but I’m still deciding if film or music will draw me in more! I am absolutely obsessed with bands, almost any genre, but i usually geek over the Garden and the Frights. These ones especially inspire me lyrically and instrumentally. One of my goals in life is to start and be in a band, so make sure to keep me in mind if you ever need a mediocre guitar player and i’ll be happy to sub in! :)
Cole Rowland | Programming Director
Howdy! I'm Clayton Rowland, but I go by Cole. Currently, I'm a junior enrolled at NMSU, diligently pursuing a marketing degree while simultaneously immersing myself in the realms of business law as my minor field of study. Getting the privilege to serve as the Director of Programming at KRUX FM on our vibrant campus, I proudly carry the Aggie spirit within me. Originating from Portales, NM, my journey led me to the captivating city of Las Cruces, where I embarked on a quest for knowledge and personal growth.
During my leisure hours, I enthusiastically engage in the dynamic world of Twitch streaming. As the sun sets on my office responsibilities, you'll often find me weaving my virtual magic online, engaging with my viewers, and indulging in spirited gaming sessions. My trajectory within the media arena traces back to my high school days, a path I've decided to continue in the form of contributing to KRUX FM for the last 3 years here at NMSU. I've embraced the philosophy of living each day to the fullest, savoring every fleeting moment in the present.
In the eloquent words of the legendary country crooner George Strait, "I ain't here for a long time, I'm here for a good time." ¡Vamos Aggies!
Hebah Alhalholy | Assistant Programming Director
Hi everyone! My name is Hebah. I am currently working as the assistant director in programming here at KRUX. I also happen to be an ASNMSU Arts and Sciences Senator. I am majoring in Biology in hopes to go onto dental school. I can't wait to meet all of you and i'm so happy and excited to be apart of KRUX!
Naomi Tercero | Content Director
Hey everyone!! I’m Naomi and I am the Content Director for this year @ KRUX. I am in charge of all the online content you’ll be seeing on our pages. This is my third year with KRUX and my third year at NMSU studying journalism with too many minors and too many extra credits. (I changed my major soooo many times.) I’m so excited to take over online content this year, I’ve always been into marketing and social media and I’ve always loved music. I listen to a bit of everything (when it comes to country, I have an open mind. But if it doesn’t pass the vibe check, it doesn’t pass the vibe check), but I really enjoy folk and blues, indie, pop, and I like when these intermix. I’m always watching movies or TV shows and annoying everyone with what I have to say. I love stories, reading, and writing. I’m very slowly figuring it out what I want to do with my life but I feel like I’m finally coming over the hill.

Hey I’m Eliza!! This is my first year at KRUX and my first year at NMSU, majoring in communication disorders. I was born and raised right next door in El Paso, TX, but I actually spend quite a bit of time here in Las Cruces (aside from driving over here every day for class). Music is my life, I listen to it 24/7 and I love going to local music gigs and concerts.

I’m a musician learning how to master the viola so I can play in amazing orchestras around the world, but I like to sing and play my ukulele and bass guitar from time to time. I’m currently a junior majoring in music education! I know everything from music theory to knowing how to create the perfect playlist. When I’m not surrounding my life with music, I like to make videos for YouTube, spend time with family and friends, and rot in bed watching all my favorite films!

Hey guys! I’m Emily, (@emilytheslasher on social media). I grew up in downtown El Paso, and I’m a senior majoring in justice, political philosophy, and law with minors in political science and sociology. When I’m not having my soul consumed by school, I love camping, cooking, and hanging out with my funky little cat, Booger. This is my first year with KRUX, but I’ve been obsessed with music my whole life. I’ve been collecting CD’s since I was 16, and I have some pretty crazy albums in my collection (for example, I own the Freaky Friday soundtrack–meaning I own that one BANGER from the movie).
My ultimate goal in life is to be a public interest lawyer, but I think it’s important to expand my horizons and try new things. Also, shameless plug: I volunteer with a few national nonprofits and am a peer distributor for sexual health resources here at NMSU! I have several resources, including Trojan condoms, pregnancy tests, and Plan B, all available for free. For more info, go check out my Instagram!

Hey, I'm Michael. I'm a sophomore here at NMSU, studying marketing and accounting (God, save me). Life without music is unimaginable to me, and I don't pass up an opportunity to tell my friends to listen to Sonic Youth. I play electric guitar and bass, lucky enough I don't have neighbors that mind their walls shaking. If you're looking to shake your walls, tune in to WALL OF NOISE.

I'm beyond excited to share my music taste and connect with other people who also love rock!
