Audra
Opperman
Audra Opperman joined the Red Raider Club in May 2017 as an assistant director for stewardship and events. She previously spent three years as the Communications Coordinator in the Texas Tech Athletics Communications Office.
In her role, Opperman is responsible for many of the donor events the Red Raider Club hosts annually as well as the Victory Circle.
Opperman made the move to the Red Raider Club after serving as the direct contact for Senior Associate Athletics Director Robert Giovannetti as well as all seven contacts within the communications office. She oversaw the communications operating budget and, most importantly, managed Texas Tech's student intern program.
Opperman was normally the first voice Red Raider fans or media hear when they called the communications office as she helped coordinate credential requests as well as hotel arrangements for visiting media during football and basketball season. She also orchestrated event logistics behind many of Texas Tech's press gatherings, including the annual Local Media Day event prior to football season.
Prior to joining the athletics department, Opperman spent just over a year as the events and staffing supervisor at G. Boren Services in Lubbock. There, she was responsible for hiring over 100 event staff workers for Texas Tech football and basketball games as well as other events held at United Supermarkets Arena, City Bank Coliseum and the Lubbock Civic Center.
Opperman, a native of Clovis, New Mexico, earned her bachelor's degree in public relations from Eastern New Mexico University in 2009. She resides in Lubbock with her husband Justin and their two children, Jaxon and Malley.
