“Be kind, be real, & smile!”

Life is too short to be anything other than true to yourself and kind to others. This saying is an innate part of my life. I do my best to live by these rules and hope they shine through to others.

In 2002, I was dragged into an insurance agency to help a friend in reception. Now, twenty years later, I have the best job ever as the personal insurance team manager at our Sugar Land location. Helping the team be successful and reach their goals is very rewarding! I love that I get to stay in the sales loop while still focusing on people, not just making a number. My team would agree that we laugh often and enjoy working together. Good morale is key! 

I’m originally from South Louisiana and grew up fishing, skiing, riding horses, and eating a lot of crawfish. As the baby of six children, I’m extremely family oriented — my family were my friends growing up. Even though my husband and I live in Houston, we still visit my sisters in my hometown, Morgan City, as often as possible.

We Louisianians love to have a good time, so we enjoy the local festivals and Mardi Gras almost every year. And yes, we still eat a lot of crawfish! You can take the girl out of Louisiana, but you can’t take the Louisiana out of the girl.

My husband and I have a goal of eventually being self-sufficient on our land in east Texas. To practice, we do raised-bed gardening and have a chicken coop in the Houston ‘burbs. We also are the people who have the most and the oddest animals: the oddest right now being a 70-lb African Spur Thighed Tortoise. The biggest (nonhuman) love of my life is my Doberman, Eleanor. She’s the sweetest dog ever! I see myself working another 10 years and opening a Doberman rescue when we move out to our 15 acres.

Until then, we plan to “laissez le bon temps rouler.” Let the good times role!

Smile!
