Team Lead, Ticket Sales at OKC Thunder
Sales
"Receiving this nomination truly means the world to me. My journey started in Connecticut, then took me to the University of Arkansas, and eventually led me to Oklahoma City in 2020—right in the middle of a pandemic. Moving here marked the beginning of not only my first full-time job and adulthood, but also my entry into the sports industry, which had always been a personal goal. When I arrived in OKC, I asked myself how I could make an impact—not just in my role with the Thunder, but within the community as a whole. I’ve always believed in the power of connection: putting myself in other people’s shoes, understanding their perspectives, and finding ways we can come together as one. This nomination is incredibly meaningful because it reflects that mission. It reminds me that the work I’m doing matters and is making a difference. I tend to be someone who is always on the go, so this moment also encourages me to pause, reflect, and truly appreciate the journey."
