I am the owner and CEO of ITC Creative Branding a fifth-generation national promotional marketing company founded in 1898. Since joining ITC Creative Branding, I have been responsible for the development, design, operation, and improvement of internal systems that create and deliver the company’s services and products, including policies and procedures, staffing and performance management, quality assurance, customer service, information technology and sales and marketing. I work closely with Larry, the fourth-generation co-owner to develop new business while collaborating with business clients to develop innovative, creative, and strategic marketing solutions to build their brand and achieve their goals.
On a personal note, I feel it is important and necessary to play a contributing role in your community, which is why I serve on several Boards and committees for a variety of organizations. Currently, I am the President of the East Jefferson Business Association; I sit on the Jefferson Parish Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, and I am also on the Board of the Women’s Professional Council. For more info look me up on here.
In addition to civic participation, volunteering my time is where my true passion lives. To steal a saying from a friend, I am a serial volunteer! This love for doing for others starting when I was a young woman and I volunteered for in a local nursing home. My heart was somehow now filled with more joy than I had ever experienced before. Is this what Mahatma Ghandi meant by losing yourself in the service of others? If so, I was all in! From then on, I then would spend my extra time with the LASPCA until I moved to the Northeast. While working up there, I would go to “kill shelters” and temperament test dogs to see which ones were “ adoptable” and find homes for them which eventually led me to start “It’s a ruff, ruff life” dog adoption agency. Today, I am a volunteer with Dawn busters Kiwanis Club, Rotary of Riverbend, and an inactive LSU AgCenter Master Gardener. If you ask for me to lend a hand for any group, or to help organize any event, I am your woman. Giving back to others is my greatest gift to give.
What Lights up my Life: My immediate family, my husband Larry and daughter Margaret Rose (Margeaux) & 2 Chiweenies (Snoopy & Woody aka Needy & Greedy! Lol)
