She has worked in the non-profit industry for 13 years, with much of that time being spent with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

When asked about her transition to Maddie’s, “I am honored to work with such an incredible organization. The passion of the staff and volunteers for our families makes every day meaningful. I am looking forward to being a part of Maddie’s for many years to come, and watching it grow and reach more families in the Acadiana and Greater Baton Rouge areas.”
