She is a passionate advocate for Louisiana and has devoted her life to building tourism and creating economic development opportunities in the rural parishes of central and western Louisiana. She is generous with her time and honest in her assessments. She has tirelessly crossed over borders and barriers to market the entire region, not just her own parish. She has been a true testament to the adage that a “rising tide raises all boats.”
