Meet the Okemah Pool Staff.
Nikita --manager 
Hi, I'm Nikita. I love Jesus, and I thank him every day that I get to live this life!
I am in my second year of managing the Okemah pool, and I love it. I love spending my time with my husband, Carey Stanfield, and our kids. Riding around beautiful Oklahoma on the back of his Spyder is one of my favorite things to do. I work at Oakes Elementary, going into my third year. Helping children learn their spelling words and how to read is very enjoyable for me. We make it fun! I enjoy working with kids and seeing them happy.
I love the Okemah pool because it allows families a place to go and cool off during the hot summer days. As an adult, I have come to the pool every week since I moved back to Okemah in 2016 before taking the manager position in 2023. My friend Susan would bring her grandkids, and I'd bring my kids, and we all made memories there. I just want to do what I can to help keep it open and suggest opening on Saturdays for the public. I have a few more ideas for it!
I hope to see many more years of happy faces enjoying the Okemah Pool!
