Mandi Ford Argo

Born and raised in the great state of Texas, Mandi moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma in 2020 and immediately fell in love with the city and its people. She joined VFA after spending 8 years working at The University of Texas at Austin where she supported students and faculty in their career, research, and entrepreneurial endeavors. Most recently Mandi supported the UT College of Natural Science’s fundraising efforts by overseeing relationships with companies and foundations that support research and development and student programs.

Mandi earned her bachelors in philosophy and Executive Master’s in Public Leadership, both from The University of Texas. She loves motorcycles, exploring new restaurants, and her family- the main driver for her move to Tulsa. While Mandi is a proud Longhorn and hails from Texas, she’s excited to be part of VFA and the great things to come in her new hometown of Tulsa.
