A southern Louisiana native, mother, funeral director & embalmer. I enjoy film, nature, costuming, camping, national parks, and am not afraid to eat new things. My passion is helping families celebrate the lives of their loved ones who have passed on, and to find closure through personalized services tailored to their individual needs.

I was born and raised in Picayune as a minister’s daughter so compassion and empathy is something that I would say are ingrained in me.
