A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTOR What a pleasure it is to join the exceptional team at North Kansas City Parks and Recreation. I have had the privilege of working for the City of North Kansas City, serving the citizens, the school district, and the surrounding communities for the past 21 years. I spent a large part of my career with the NKC Community Center, and after it transitioned to the YMCA, I was fortunate to move to Public Works. While in Public Works, I was able to gain knowledge on project management, pursue a master’s in organizational leadership, and gain insight to the inner working and support provided to parks. I am thrilled to hit the ground running and do something I am passionate about and reconnect with many familiar faces. I look forward to fostering new relationships and partnerships, creating a welcoming environment, and serving the needs of our community.
