Tia Murry never planned on working in the human services field.
A graduate of the University of Oklahoma with an English degree, Murry — the new joint Department of Human Services Director for Moffat and Rio Blanco County — wanted to do something in the English field.
A move to Cochran, Georgia – a town of a little over 5,100 residents — to follow her husband after graduation led to a career-long trip down a path of development and service, eventually landing her right here in Moffat County.
“I had a degree in a field where I was rather limited,” Murry said. “My options were limited in that small town, so I fell into social services; I literally fell into it. There was an opening and I needed a job.”
