I’m thrilled to join RSVP of Oklahoma as the new Executive Director, where I’m eager to contribute to the incredible work already being done to support our growing population of adults mid-career through retirement and to foster volunteerism across the state. While I’ve only called Oklahoma home for a little over two years, I’ve quickly found that the kindness and generosity of Oklahomans have made this place feel like home. I’m excited to plant my roots here and be part of this vibrant community.

With a background in nonprofit resource development and community engagement, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside diverse teams to create opportunities for connection and growth. Whether it’s securing funding, building partnerships, or developing programs, I’ve always been focused on finding practical solutions that make a real difference.

As a proud Army Veteran, I’ve learned the importance of service, leadership, and teamwork—values I carry into my work every day. My goal is to support RSVP of Oklahoma in empowering adults age fifty-five and older to and growing our network of volunteers, all while continuing to learn from the incredible people around me.

I look forward to working with this amazing community to make a lasting impact, and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to be here.
