What makes the Baton Rouge Area a better way to live?

Baton Rouge offers a blend of Southern charm, affordable living, and diverse

job opportunities, all set against a backdrop of rich cultural traditions and

beautiful natural surroundings. I am a graduate of Walker High School; I have

been in the Baton Rouge area my entire life. While I have traveled, I have

always called the Baton Rouge area home! I love the sweet southern

hospitality that is found here, and how there is always a strong sense of family

and small-town love in all the surrounding communities. That is something I

loved growing up and knew I wanted to raise a family in. Our local sports

culture is also something that I love, nothing like catching an LSU game.

Which communities are you a part of in the Capital Region?

I have a close knit of friends I have been close with for over twenty years, this

is group that I truly cherish. We are now raising our kids together and our

husbands are all friends, it’s something I feel like you read about in books or

see in movies, but I’m blessed to say I have these friendships and live it every

day. I have that small town culture to thank for nourishing these friendships

and helping us build them into what they are today. I am a member of

Bethany Christian Church; my family and I attend the Livingston Parish

campus. I have many friends throughout the community who are also fellow

business owners, and we are also members of the Livingston Parish

Chamber. Last year, I served alongside other business owners and

community leaders on the Fork Cancer Committee, where we proudly raised

money in the Baton Rouge area in the fight against cancer.

How is it building a career in the Baton Rouge Area?

Building a career in the Baton Rouge is a rewarding experience. The city and

all its surrounding area are beaming with fun, creativity, and always so

welcoming of new businesses. To help accelerate my business I relied heavily

on social media, networking and word of mouth. Coming back to the culture of

Baton Rouge, locals want to support locals. So, it was important to get the

word out and network the business. Baton Rouge offers so many great

opportunities for networking and helping grow businesses.

What is your ideal weekend in the Baton Rouge Area?  

To kick off my weekend I would start my Friday night off with dinner, of course.

I am local to the Watson area so on any given night you can find my family

and I at Casa Maria! After we would likely grab a movie with the kids or enjoy

live music. Saturday is a perfect day for brunch! We love brunch at STAB’s in

Central, after we are definitely catching a baseball game, if our kids aren’t

playing you can catch us supporting Live Oak High School or enjoying a game

at LSU! Depending on the time of the year we love to enjoy ice skating at the

river center and while downtown, stroll the levee. Sunday, we will be at church

after is always lunch and then family time! A good Sunday afternoon fishing at

the pond is the perfect weekend ending for us.

Baton Rouge and its surrounding areas provide a mix of urban convenience,

affordability, rich culture, and strong community ties that can be appealing for

anyone seeking a balance between a relaxed lifestyle and access to

professional opportunities. Networking and entrepreneurial growth is

unmatched for those willing to reach for it. Whether for work or family there

are many aspects that make Baton Rouge a great place to live… Overall it’s home.
