PERSONAL INFORMATION
I am a U.S. Citizen who is white, female age 48 with two grown children. I enjoy horseback riding, hunting, camping, reading, sports and travel in my spare time. I have always taken great pride in my work. I am very diligent in customer relations, accuracy and detail oriented. I have owned and operated a farm/horse stable for the past 10 years that has allowed me a rewarding opportunity to work with children in the 4H Equine growth. I have recently relocated with family to Baton Rouge after living and working in the Houma / Harvey area.
