I happily joined the Counseling and Recovery Services Board in March of 2020.  I was looking for an opportunity to connect and serve my community in some capacity.  I knew that I had an interest in behavioral and community health services based on my professional and personal experience so I felt this was an excellent fit.

I own a small physician staffing agency and I know all too well, that community access to behavioral health services is often a lifeline for those in need.   I have been in the healthcare staffing industry for over 20 years with a large portion of that being in the community health space.  I have personally experienced loss of friends and family due to untreated mental illness and depression and this service is my way of honoring their memory and doing what I can to help others.  I am also a stage IV cancer survivor.  My outlook on life has evolved significantly since my diagnosis and I have found that service to others brings me joy. 

In my spare time, I volunteer at my church in the nursery as well as spend time with friends, and my family here in Tulsa.  I love live music, party planning, skiing, travel and anything outdoors.
