MY LSU

Why did you choose to build a career with the LSU Foundation?
I chose to build a career with the Foundation because of the organization’s mission to support LSU students, faculty, donors, and campus.

What does a typical day look like for you?
Any typical day is never typical working for the Foundation. Every day is filled with something new and different and provides an opportunity for growth.

Tell us about your favorite work win or moment when you truly felt the impact of your work.

Where is your favorite place on campus?
My favorite place on campus is the Nicholson Drive Starbucks.
