Interests

Professional Interests: 

Interactive nutrition education with kids and families. I love to make learning about food fun with games, music or friendly competition!

Personal Interests: 

Watching high school and college basketball games; Go Ada Cougars and go Pokes! Activities with my kids such as pig shows or shooting baskets with my son, and acro dance with my daughter. Shopping is my stress reliever, even if just looking and not buying anything.

Inspiration

I knew I wanted to work in the health field and attend OSU. Over Thanksgiving of my junior year in high school, my cousin told me about studying dietetics at OSU and I immediately knew food and health was for me, and the rest is history!

Why I Love My Job

  1. We have the freedom to dream big and then have the support to make them come true! I have never been bored in my nearly 13-year career with the Chickasaw Nation Nutrition Services team as there are always new, innovative adventures on the horizon.
  2. I get to work side-by-side with a team that has just as much passion for food and serving others as I do. The enthusiastic team vibe and “Can Do” attitudes make it exciting to come to work and conquer the next adventure together!
  3. Food is nature’s medicine and I love that I get to focus on programming to teach my community how to live their best life through the fuel/food they choose each day.
