"Once I moved back to Lawton I was looking for a way to get involved in the community to make a lasting impact, specifically with the youth. WiNUP originally caught my attention due to their heavy involvement with local STEM programs throughout the school district. I believe our investment in youth through the STEM program is pivotal in our children’s future. I am excited to see what the Texhoma chapter is going to achieve in our years to come!"
