MY LSU 

Why did you choose to build a career with the LSU Foundation?
The LSU Foundation is the ideal location for someone who strives to pursue excellence both professionally and personally, and the organization has created an atmosphere for its employees to do just that. Beyond that, the mission of the Foundation and what it works to support is really fulfilling to me.

What does a typical day look like for you?
In communications, no day looks the same. Some days, I am heavily absorbed in storytelling, whether that’s through print, video, etc., while other days, I’m project managing for projects, like Giving Day!

Tell us about your favorite work win or moment when you truly felt the impact of your work.
The nature of my job as a storyteller allows me to connect with others on a personal level that I don’t believe many often see. One specific occasion comes to mind: I had the opportunity to interview a graduate scholarship recipient, and when asking her if she had ever met her scholarship donor, she immediately broke down in (happy) tears. She had such an amazing story to share. I still get goosebumps when watching her video. Being a witness to individual impacts that happen through the Foundation’s work will always be a win for me.

Where is your favorite place on campus?
This feels like I’m spilling a well-kept secret, but I love the E. A. McIlhenny Room in Hill Memorial Library. There are some beautiful, modernized buildings on campus, but when you enter this particular space, the dark paneled walls and floor-to-ceiling arched windows coupled with some notable archived materials on display make you feel like you’re stepping back in time.
