I’m originally from New Orleans. I graduated from LSU with a BS in Business Administration and a focus in marketing, branding and customer experience. I spent sometime working in the convention industry before starting a family, but always wanted to have a business that serves other businesses in the area of customer experience. After performing for other businesses in brand and growth management while recognizing the importance of a digital store front to connect with clients, XXIII MARKETING was born. Jen Meadows, Haley Chapron and myself turned our focus to social media and serving business who are looking to communicate in an innovative and strategic way, with the client experience at the forefront.
