Born and raised in Lafayette, LA, I am a true southern girl at heart. After college I went to training in Texas for 9 month and was excited to get my full-time placement closer to home, in Baton Rouge, LA. I pride myself on living by values driven by Faith, focused on fulfilling a bigger purpose while prioritizing health of mind, body and spirit. I have a passion for wellness, healthy living and daily movement, but nothing beats a night filled with family, friends and live music!

After getting my bachelor’s in CHEE from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, I moved to Texas for training in corporate engineering sales and have been in the industry for over five years. After 5 years in the corporate environment and being surrounded by so many amazing local businesses, I felt a calling to do more and make a greater impact. That is when the idea of Fostered Growth was born, to help businesses unlock the power of social media marketing and fully capture the opportunity of online marketing!
