Tyra Parker

Tyra joined our team in February 2022 as Visitor Services Manager, in which she primarily oversees Wolfe’s Neck Oceanfront Campground. She has extensive hands-on experience in directing and leading large-scale operations, including affordable senior housing programs, both federal and state correctional reentry programs, recovery residences, battery intervention programs, permanent and supportive housing for homeless veterans and homeless youth, as well as facility management.

She is enthusiastic about animals and lives with her small dog Peanut, who has a very large personality.
