career in safety management and as a compliance director for local industrial and oil and gas companies,

but she knew her love, her passion, was to continue to serve those in vulnerable situations with nonprofits.

a voice, and to use my passion to be a blessing to others.” She lives in Broken Arrow with her husband

of 17 years, Joe, and affectionately calls their many 4-legged fur babies, the Q Zoo and her largest love,

her baby Saint Bernard, Apfelstrudel.
