I REALLY ENJOYED MY EXPERIENCE AT TECH. THE PIKES WERE GREAT!! I'VE ALSO GRADUATED 6 KIDS THROUGH TECH. I'D SAY WE ARE ALL PRETTY LOYAL. THANKS TEXAS TECH UNIVERSITY

This April marked my 6-year anniversary working with the Texas Tech Alumni Association and 21 years working for or with TTU. If you would've asked the girl sitting in Dr. Dean's MCOM 1301 if this where she would be now, she'd have said "yeah right." Never could I have imagined what an impact TTU would make on my life.

Tech and Dr. Michael Shonrock gave me the opportunity being the first ever coordinator for Red Raider Camp, and now I am coordinating a traditions camp for TTU grandparents and soon-to-be Red Raiders. I've had the opportunity to meet some inspiring Red Raiders through their service on the TTAA National Board of Directors, as one of our Distinguished Alumni honorees and as the advisor to Student Alumni Board. And now, serving on the Centennial Events Planning Committee…this is the ultimate in special events planning, a truly once in a lifetime occasion, and a chance for me to give back to TTU for giving me so many amazing opportunities.

I know I am lucky because I get to celebrate "the school we love so dearly" and be a proud Red Raider every day.
