Kati Christ
As she’s climbed the corporate ladder, Kati has learned the value of prioritizing her role as a parent. Now she uses her personal experience to shape the culture of her entire team, which has a ripple effect throughout her community.
Katherine Koch
A self-described over-achiever, Katherine has built a career out of helping the next generation succeed. But perhaps one of the biggest lessons she’s teaching them is what she’s learned herself: you can’t pour into others without rooting yourself in your own identity, goals and values.
Kandyce Cudjo
When Kandyce hit a season of suffering in 2016, she made an intentional decision: no matter what was next, she would use all her hurt and failure and hard experiences to make herself better and help those around her.
Julie Reising
A self-described lifelong learner, Julie highly values playfulness and connection and brings that into every area of her life, whether it’s her role as grandmother, coach or therapist.
Judy Richey
What you see with Judy is what you get, and she’s proud to be known as a team player, a positive influence and someone who takes accountability for any mistakes she makes.
Julie Gamblin
Julie grew up thinking as long as she didn’t try too hard, she might be able to avoid failing. But thankfully she bet on herself even when she felt afraid and went on not just to achieve personal success but to give back to the community in huge ways.
Jodi Berge
After years as an addict, Jodi said God “blew up her world” and put her on a path to help others. Now, she commits her time and energy to the homeless community as a way of giving back.
Jessica Lauren
Rapidly going from a nanny with no clue about film production to a field producer climbing the ranks, Jessica credits her success to the constant work she’s put in to overcome her lack of self-confidence.
Jenna Morey
Nothing defines Jenna as well as her desk placard, which reads “My modus operandi is: Dial up the awesome and break the knob off." Thankfully, she’s committing all that awesome to amazing local causes.
Jana Gridley
She’s the first to admit she’s not perfect, but Jana realizes God has uniquely equipped her for the work of raising a family and building a community to affirm the value of women and the work they do.
Jamie Crone
Mastering her own insecurities and learning how to live a life filled with confidence and pride, Jamie has dedicated herself to empowering others to do the same.
Jade Gifford
Set apart by her optimism and go-getter attitude, Jade works to overcome challenges in her life with transparency and resiliency.
Jackie Corcoran
While some people might be bored with a repetitive life, Jackie says she’s learned to love the monotony because she knows what it’s like to live in chaos and now she has peace.
Hope Varughese
Hope was born to help others. That’s taken her to work as a nurse on a medical ship in Africa, then in an operating room and now running a foundation to help others find freedom from consumer debt.
Glenda Parker
Glenda would never say it comes easy to her but she’s found a way to lead others selflessly and fearlessly despite anything stacked against her. And through believing the best about others, she’s encouraging those around her to do the same.
Erin Taylor
Erin says she’s okay entering into hard things if she believes it’s for the good of others. And that’s what truly separates her from others and puts her on a path to serve those around her.
Jacqueline Corley
Using her own skills and talents to give others a useful skill is what Jacqueline is all about. And she’s done that not jus t through her business, but through a corresponding non-profit, too.
Danielle Preston
She defines her typical day as “a beautiful mess,” but Danielle is embracing all the lessons in the messiness. She wears a lot of hats, but in all her roles she believes she’s set apart by working hard and staying humble.
Daisy Munoz
Daisy says she’s where she is now thanks to the people she’s met in each phase of life, who met her where she was with kindness, humility and empowerment. Now, she’s doing the same as she works to bring a diverse perspective to city planning in OKC.
