I’m the proud owner of NEAT Method New Orleans. I was born and raised on the north shore. I went to Our Lady of the Lake Catholic School, Saint Scholastica Academy and then on to LSU-Geaux Tigers! I married my high school sweetheart and am a mom to three littles. I can’t start the day without a checklist and a cup of coffee, and never leave the house without my planner. I’m always up for trying a new workout. I enjoy traveling and warm weather, especially when it involves a glass of rose’. I am a minimalist at heart.

Q: What advice would you give to people?
Generally speaking, I would describe myself as a risk adverse person. Probably not surprising since I am a Type-A, planner who has made professional organizing a career. Beginning my career as an entrepreneur was the riskiest thing I have done and it has paid off ten-fold. I always knew I wanted to be my own boss and when the time was right for us to start a family I knew I wanted to take control of my schedule. I have trusted the process every step of the way and have established a thriving business that I am thankful to call my own. Without risk there is no reward.

We love exploring or going out on the boat on the weekends. There is something for everyone!
