After gaining valuable experience, she was able to work independently as a consultant and tax professional while raising two sons with her husband. Also, during this time, she taught at Oklahoma City University and received her master’s degree in accounting from them. Her next employment was at Spanish Cove Retirement Village in Yukon, Oklahoma where she was the Accounting and Finance Manager. It was here where she learned about non-profits, aging issues, and the fun of working with a multi-faceted team. It was a natural lead into the CFO position at Areawide Aging Agency.

Degree, in Education, from Southwestern Oklahoma State University. She later obtained a training and development certificate. Over the years, Shonda has had the privilege of working with different organizations, but it was her time with Bluestem Communities that really gave her the desire and passion to work with older adults. She was able to see firsthand the results of the aging population and how beneficial the services are that are aimed to empower older Americans to continue living with the dignity and independence of aging in our communities.
