In my position as executive director, I work with the board of directors in leading the organization in financial growth, long-range planning, community relations and overall administration in accordance with the Resonance mission. I received my undergraduate degree from OSU and completed graduate work at the University of Oklahoma. I love coming to work each day and hearing the laughter of our clients spilling into my office; it serves as a constant reminder that our clients are on the road to success when they are happy and engaging in our services.

I received an associate degree in Education from TCC in 2010, completing a Bachelor of Social Work at Northeastern State University in 2012 and a Masters of Social Work in 2014 from the University of Oklahoma. I began working in social services in 1999, first as a volunteer, then as a case manager serving people dealing with HIV/AIDS. Since that time I have worked with people struggling with addictions and mental health disorders.
