Affiliations

I enjoy golfing, playing darts, and basically any sport (except bowling, I am awful). We enjoy living close to Ponca lake so we can enjoy our boat almost every evening after work.

Certification

I held a practical nursing license for over 25 years before I ended my career in the medical field.

Work History

  • I started my nursing career in 1993 as an office nurse in Pawnee Oklahoma at Doctor's Medical Center. I spent 11 wonderful years caring for others. I had an opportunity to make a move in 2000 to the Dental Field. I loved being a dental assistant. Interacting with my patients and making people feel good about their smile along with getting their dental health back in control was profoundly gratifying. I had one of my patients reach out to me about an opening that came available with the Tonkawa Tribe in her department as an HR Generalist. I interviewed for the job without any HR experience and got it! I began my career with the Tonkawa Tribe in October of 2021 and it has been a blessing. My passion is working with people, I love helping people succeed!
