I am a native of Louisiana, born and raised in the state my family helped settle. One of my ancestors arrived in 1718, the year New Orleans was founded. I live in the suburbs, but my heart will always belong to New Orleans. I attended Louisiana State University and received my BA in English and MA in American history. I specialize in Louisiana history, slavery, and Creole culture. Currently I am a historical researcher working on telling the story of slaves on a Creole sugar plantation on the River Road. I am passionate about historic homes, British television shows, the novels of Austen and Dickens, cemeteries, brass bands, and cooking. I am also fascinated by the area above Natchez, Mississippi that Eudora Welty dubbed "River Country." I believe that every family has a story that needs to be told.
