MY LSU 

Why did you choose to build a career with the LSU Foundation?
I chose the LSU Foundation as the place to build my career because of its mission, knowing that it would offer me the opportunity for professional growth and allow me benefits to start my family. 

What does a typical day look like for you?
Honestly, it depends on the day of the week. I always try to stay positive because while you never know what will be thrown at you, you have to stay ready and not be shaken by surprises.

Tell us about your favorite work win or moment when you truly felt the impact of your work.
I will always be excited when development officers, whom I have created proposals or crafted touch points for, move donors closer a gift. Being collaborative, creative, and a team player means a lot in the work that we do.

Where is your favorite place on campus?
It depends on the day, but on sunny, moderately-tempered days, I like to work outside or near a window with a view.
