power of working together and believing in ourselves even when faced with hardships. At the same time, I think we sometimes get in our own way. People who have moved here more recently or come as visitors see the city’s momentum and are really excited about it. Longtime residents don’t always recognize how much has changed. There’s an opportunity for all of us to better understand and share the story of who we are today. Q: What does success look like for you and your team over the next year? A: We have a really passionate team that cares deeply about Oklahoma City. In the near term, we’re working through a lot of transition, but once we get through that, I think the sky’s the limit. Success looks like launching a locally loved community brand, strengthening how we work together and continuing to increase awareness of OKC on a national and global stage. Q: What excites you most about this next chapter? A: There’s a lot of energy around this moment – both within our organization and within our city. We’re building something that hasn’t existed before, and while that can feel overwhelming at times, it’s also
incredibly exciting. The work we’re doing is creating real opportunities for our team and for the city, and that’s what keeps me energized.
