Dr. McNamee joined the Live Oak staff in 2023 to help guide the admissions/enrollment, marketing and communications, and development efforts of the school. Before coming to Live Oak, she was an Associate Professor and Graduate Program Director for the Department of Communication at Baylor University. She holds a Ph.D. in organizational communication from the University of Texas at Austin, but she proudly claims Baylor as her alma mater (B.A. in journalism, M.A. in communication) and Waco as her home for more than 20 years. Lacy and her husband Doug have two daughters in Grammar School, and they are incredibly thankful for this wonderful school community!
