AVI, Co-Director & Founder of The Middle Ground, TMG

Hello members and non-members, I'm delighted you're here!
I'm Gretchen Hansz, a proud Houston, TX native with a deep affection for Oklahoma. My time at the University of Oklahoma has been incredibly rewarding, fostering both personal and professional growth.
What truly inspires me is making a difference in others' lives, regardless of their backgrounds. I've faced various challenges that have equipped me to support people from all walks of life, encouraging them to join me on a journey of networking and living healthy lives within their communities experiencing the middle ground and look forward to serving the State, University, and AVI Network along the way.
I enjoy understanding the needs of others to offer a range of skills, demonstrate the resources available to them, and provide roadmaps to guide them towards success, all with a passion for collaboration and empowering the community.
