21. 2018 Recipient
This person has been instrumental in making huge changes for OKRID. Not only has she done a fantastic job as secretary during her first year, she has also been the driving force to set up a new website for OKRID and is currently working to streamline information to the new website to benefit members and the public. All of this work with the goal of helping to introduce members and the public to what OKRID and the interpreters in the state of Oklahoma are all about. She has also worked to ensure the website will be the main source to house existing and future documents related to OKRID and the interpreting profession. She is able to be actively involved with the organization and board while simultaneously acting as a freelance interpreter, wife, and mother to three young children. She is more than deserving of this award that honors those who contribute to the service of OKRID and the interpreting profession.

24. 2018 Lifetime Achievement Recipient
Throughout her years as an interpreter, she has exemplified the quality we now refer to as "Deaf Heart." Working in an elementary school for many years, she has sacrificed her time and energy to fostering the next generation of the Deaf community by transporting them to Deaf social events and programs and by being an excellent linguistic and cultural role model. She has mentored many new interpreters while simultaneously learning from them as well. She often engages with her peers in discourse about our field in an open-minded and informed way and is a staple at many of the workshops offered in Oklahoma.

25. 2018 Lifetime Achievement Recipient Continued
Outside of interpreting she has also provided a home for multiple Deaf children who have been placed in foster care. During the summer she has allowed Deaf children the opportunity to experience horseback riding at her ranch, often for their very first time. She has taken many elderly Deaf individuals under her wing, keeping them in touch with the Deaf community when they are not capable of getting out alone. She makes sure to check in on them often and is always ready to drop everything to be there for them, if needed.
