Greatings OKC Box of Balloons Volunteers, My name is Kristi Rhoades. I am a lifelong resident of Oklahoma. My roots are planted here, and I am so excited to have this opportunity to give back to my community. 

I am employed as a speech-language pathologist. I have devoted my career to working with Oklahoma children to improve their ability to communicate. I have worked with esteemed educators and beloved families to create a team that enriches children's lives. My passion is helping children improve their communication skills to achieve their goals and live their lives to their full potential. 

As I embark as the chapter leader of this volunteer team, I am humbled by the generosity you and our partner agencies have shown to grow this organization. I look forward to learning and growing with you as we celebrate each child's special day and fulfill birthday wishes!
