Cadmium
Producing a successful event is akin to producing a movie or TV show. Having worked in both industries, I know that both require someone behind the scenes who can juggle a million tasks while managing a multi-million-dollar budget. I have been managing projects and events for over 20 years! I attended LSU for three years before graduating from the University of New Orleans in Film & Television. I have learned a lot about the ever-changing event industry. I truly enjoy building relationships with my clients and always go above and beyond when it comes to customer service. I love my LSU Tigers and can often be found at the local sports bar cheering on my beloved New Orleans Saints!
