I graduated from LSU with a degree in Economics, and I’ve combined my love of hospitality, design, and travel into a career that lets me help others feel at home—wherever they are.


My roots run deep in Louisiana, and I carry that same spirit of warmth and welcome into every property I manage. Whether you're visiting for a peaceful country getaway, a fishing trip, or to explore charming small towns, I want your stay to feel effortless, cozy, and just the right amount of special.


When I’m not working, you’ll find me outside—walking my dog, paddle boarding, catching a sunset, or planning my next adventure. Whether I’m in Louisiana or Idaho, I’m always happy to share local tips and hidden gems to help you make the most of your time. I look forward to hosting you soon!
