I began my career with the Oklahoma Tourism & Recreation Department (OTRD) in March 2013 as a part-time seasonal employee at Red Rock Canyon State Park. My dedication and hard work led to a full-time position as an Equipment Operator, which I held until April 2017. I then transitioned to Roman Nose State Park as the Park Maintenance Supervisor, managing facility operations and maintenance.In October 2020, I was promoted to Assistant Park Manager at Roman Nose State Park, where I oversaw daily park operations and enhanced the visitor experience. In May 2021, I expanded my expertise by serving as the Assistant Lodge Manager at Quartz Mountain State Park, where I gained in-depth knowledge of lodge management. After five months in that role, I was selected as the Park Manager for Quartz Mountain State Park in October 2021, leading the park’s team and managing its facilities and natural resources.In February 2024, I left OTRD to join the Caddo Nation as the Senior Administrator. I now work directly with the Chairman, overseeing all day-to-day operations of the Nation, ensuring effective administration of its programs, and contributing to its growth and success.I am a firm believer in the power of hard work and continuous learning. Both the Oklahoma Tourism & Recreation Department and the Caddo Nation have provided me with invaluable opportunities, and I am grateful for the journey.
