"I was born in the OSU campus hospital, and graduated from OSU in 1981 with a B.S. in Recreation. Mother of two, and happily retired after 20 years serving in the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department as a park superintendent and law enforcement officer. I returned home to Stillwater in 2020, and I am thrilled to be a part of the Lake McMurtry team serving as a park host."
