Tina Boysha got her first taste of life in parks and recreation working as an unpaid college intern. She quickly discovered how incredibly rewarding the job could be.
“After seeing all the lives that the programs and events touched on a daily basis, I knew this is where I belonged,” she says. “I enjoy being a public servant, and seem to have a knack for it. I like making people happy, even though I can’t do that all the time, but I can sure have fun trying!”
With sixteen years in the parks and recreation field, the past eight as the Superintendent of Athletics for the city of Clarksville Parks and Recreation in Tennessee, Boysha, and her staff, have been putting smiles on thousands of children’s faces through their creative and tireless efforts.
