Greatest achievement:  As a Lafayette-native, I currently serve as the Director of Events and Special Projects at One Acadiana, the leading economic development organization for the nine-parish south Louisiana region. In this role, I develop opportunities for business leaders to connect, often with the purpose of discussing regional progress.
