My LSU

Why did you choose to build a career with the LSU Foundation?
I chose to build a career with the LSU Foundation because it creates an opportunity for me to utilize my organizational and strategic skills within an environment that advances and expands educational opportunities for students in Louisiana. 

What does a typical day look like for you?
In my role, a typical day is spent working closely with development officers to provide the tools, services, and resources that support their fundraising efforts. While my responsibilities vary day to day, my work sometimes includes analyzing historical giving data, organizing donor information, and tracking progress for specific fundraising initiatives. 

Tell us about your favorite work win or moment when you truly felt the impact of your work.
My favorite work win thus far was attending the College of Engineering’s Evening of Engineering Excellence to honor individuals who have made significant contributions to the college. This event was one of the first events I helped to organize in my role, so it was gratifying to see it all come together! 

Where is your favorite place on campus?
My favorite spot on campus is outside the LSU Hill Memorial Library because of the beautiful oak trees!
