She became interested in travel while attending the University of Louisiana. During her years at school in Lafayette, she had the opportunity to study overseas, French Impressionism and French literature in the city of light, Paris. During her tenure in Paris, Cassie said that it opened up the world for her and at the same time, defined her career goals. The decision was made, even before she left Paris, that she would pursue a profession that would further develop my knowledge of the world and cultures and use that knowledge to enhance her clients travel experience. She worked at the Ritz Carlton in New Orleans, and after Hurricane Katrina, relocated to Naples and continued her career with the Ritz Carlton in Naples, FL as a Destination Services Manager. In this position, she handled all off-site activities for large groups, designed theme events, coordinated beautiful weddings and made each client’s vision come to fruition. Her favorite destination at the moment is Italy’s Amalfi Coast. From the picturesque towns to the food and wine, and the hospitality of the locals, it may have been one of the most relaxing places she ever had the pleasure of visiting. Her other passions are college football (Geaux Tigers), art, food, wine and spending as much time in New Orleans as she can find time for.
