I’m involved with Tulsa’s Young Professionals, an organization that is working hard to show professionals the great things that Tulsa has to offer. This year I have been a part of their Get on Board program, in which I am a Board Intern for the River Parks Authority board.

It seems the trick to sounding confident is making sure you have enough air in your lungs, and being able to let the air out again as you speak.
With TYPros, every month there are multiple crew meetings happening as well as networking events. Here is the TYPros calendar.
