Skelton attended Beloit College where she covered various shifts at WBCR, the campus radio station. After graduation, Skelton planned to get her masters in conducting at UW-Milwaukee, but by chance discovered the studios of WUWM and chose radio instead; two years later she began working at WFMR. Skelton sings in the Milwaukee Symphony Chorus and enjoys learning about prairie restoration, biking, gardening, and wine tasting. She is also a regular contributor to Food Friday segments on Central Time.
