I have over 13 years of banking experience in New Orleans, having previously served the banking community at Hibernia National Bank and First Commerce Corporation. I have spent the recent decades on fundraising efforts in the nonprofit sector in the New Orleans community. In particular, I’ve worked with Children’s Hospital, Ochsner Pediatrics, Junior Achievement and the Audubon Institute, and currently serve on the Board of Baptist Community Ministries. In addition, I’ve been involved with a number of New Orleans activist groups such as Women of the Storm, Katrina Krewe, Girls on the Run and Heart of Passion. I feel proud that Argent is committed to impartial, transparent fiduciary wealth management. Our focus is on keeping our clients’ best interests at the forefront of every action we take.
